Swatch fans, knowledge required please

[Nolar Dog]

I know there's a few Swatch fans and collectors on here so just wondered if any of you can advise me please...

I'm looking to buy another Swatch as a birthday gift for a female friend soon.
She was born in September 1986 and I'd like to buy an original model from that period.

Can anyone tell me or show me what was available then and point me in the right direction (other than eBay) to source said models please?

Other than that I'm open to suggestion.

She's a fashion photographer and make up artist and as such is into designers such as Vivienne Westwood although I'm not buying her the Orb Swatch as it's not something she could wear everyday.

Any decent models that stand out from the rest?

I've already got her the Time Spective from the current Manish Arora collection but want something older to compliment it.

Many thanks in advance and feel free to turn this into a "Show us your Swatch" thread too amongst the suggestions.

Thanks very much guys.

I'll bookmark that for the morning and have a good look around.
Brill!

Any more thoughts anyone or feel free to post pics of your Swatches for inspiration.

Is she petite ? The ladies Swatches are tiny by todays standards.

She is very petite yes but I'd already decided on getting gents styles as I'm not a fan of women's watches generally. See my blog
