I've also managed to get my better half into watches.. No vintage Omega's though, yet, but a retro Omega and a vintage Breitling..
According to the latest trend of course, she prefers men's pieces. Bad luck for me, they're a lot more expensive
This picture is her receiving her first "real" watch, a Tag S/EL. I had to crop the second half of the picture, her wearing it, sorry I can't show more!
Unfortunately the Tag was stolen during a business trip in Moscow.. where else..?
So then she got this awesome Omega Alveoles - in AP style:
...which stopped working. The stepping motor in the 1342 quartz movement died. Apparently it's quite common fault in the 13xx series, so it's almost impossible to get a working motor.. I've just managed to acquire a donor movement, 2 years later!
So, shortly after the Omega's death, she was finally ready for her first vintage piece.. Huge leap after two hassle-free quartz watches: a hand-winding Breitling Top Time, in amazing condition! I acquired it at a traditional auction, through phone bidding, without even seeing it. Bargain price, and when it arrived... OMG almost new condition, needless to say all original parts. I actually felt bad I couldn't keep it to myself

She still wears it every day:
