So... I'd like to buy my wife a watch. I like Omega but apparently I once said I'd buy her a Rolex when she saw one she liked somewhere. She was kinda joking and so was I but, well, you know how it works...
I've mentioned this in the past but I think I've narrowed down what I'm looking for.
Similar to this, does not have to be ladies specific, but a smaller sized gents watch, which I guess is vintage "normal" sizing. I do not have 6k to spend ( i also said I'd build her a MK1 golf GTi - gotta keep my trap shut) but I would spend from £500 - £1500. Possible? Plausible?
Her current watch is this: (I bought this as a half joke - her Lolex - but she does like it)
It probably keeps better time than an old Rolex, but it's still a very poor substitute!
Where to look? I'd feel safer buying from a shop but all I've seen are ridiculously expensive.
