Also, if you're not a watch person, you'd simply like a new one rather than an old one unless its ultra special.
And if you are a watch person, some would only really like a vintage watch if it was a vintage watch they would like in the first place.
As is with everything.

@TRA So maybe save for the worst, hope for the best (in terms of budget), and give her the gift of that experience of buying “whatever she wants” ... I recommend calling ahead wherever you go and prepping them of your budget so they navigate toward the correct price range without needing to say it.

It’s quite possible she’ll prefer a new (perhaps all steel on a jubilee) DJ over a vintage one. Waterproofing is a big issue, she’ll have to be careful washing her hands or even moving between outdoors when it’s hot and humid to a cool air conditioned office which can cause condensation inside the case. Obviously the clasp, movement and accuracy will be far improved. I’ve heard that the buying experience is quite nice too.
