Folks, I need some help here.

I'm after a watch for my girlfriend, ideally one from her birth year which was '81, but I could widen the search to include 80's if an 81 vintage draws a blank.

So, can someone point me in the right direction as to where to source one?

For reference, something along the lines of -







But I'd be open to suggestions!

I was going to suggest retro-watches, but I see you found them laugh I purchased a ladies Omega from them last year, like you I was looking for a birth year watch for my Wife's 30th and all I could find were 80's watches, no specific year of manufacture. So I gave up the surprise and asked her to choose from the 3 different models I had narrowed it down too, gave her the blah about how I was trying to track down a birth year watch with no success. She was overjoyed with the sentiment before she even chose what she wanted. She now tells everybody it's a birth year watch regardless.
Top notch company to deal with.

ism23 - cheers for the heads up, but that's not quite the style she's after. Appreciate the thought tho.

IroningMan - glad to be of service!
