My girlfriend wants a vintage watch. Budget won't stretch to Rolex or anything, £150 maximum ideally.

She wants something with a leather strap (though I can always buy that after I get the watch itself)

This is pretty much what she would like, (I realise the watch in the photo is a mans watch)



Can anyone please give me some suggestions as I have no idea about what makes to look for.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I managed to get a 50's Gold Omega Dennison for about £150 which I didn't think was too bad.

Then again, I know nothing about watches.

Very good. Dennison made cases for many houses, including Rolex and Omega. At current scrap prices, I'm surprised and pleased.

Bearing in mind that vintage men's watches are smaller than current sizes eg 33mm cases, does she really mean she wants a vintage women's watch or is she happy with a man's watch? Or did she mean she wanted a modern woman's watch with a vintage style?

It was a womens vintage watch, that was all she said to me really.

Could anyone perhaps give me any more information on the watch I've bought, I'd be interested to learn what exactly it is!
