help on wife birthday gift
My CO birthday is coming and i cracking my head to give her something resembles her birth year.

i know is mission impossible for me, most likely to get her a Year 1980 "6309-7040" for her.

Any brothers know where i can get one?

Or any other models to consider?



help appreciated!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'd reckon, letting us know the budget would let us present pin points no-nonsense options to you ?

Besides the budget factor, it'll be also helpful if you can identify how much a watch affectionado she is...

Otherwise, no matter what kind of timepiece you get for her, she would have hard time to appreciate that...

Just realized that my wife does not really appreciate watch. Hope it doesn't apply to u. In the end, I m very upfront abt her present, and she told me she wanted something else, so she got what she wanted and is still very happy everyday.



U have to be observant and know what she really wants thou. Of cos, the best is ask what she wants. ;)

Re: help on wife birthday gift
Really like the looks of the 2205's, as seen in the below link, but I think they stopped production in the late 70's:

There's also the 4205's, but I really don't have much of an idea on getting one of those watches....

Our thoughts the same... although i'm not married as with you 2.



We couldn't really tell what women wants. Be it a hand bag, a star studded jewellery/watch that wraps around her wrist/finger, or even a short 1-1 face to face get-to-gather time on just a simple meal or...cannot continue liao lah... a little provocative subject...



Anyway, just bring her out to window shop, if your budget allows then hoot, if not then shoot
