My wife (a lady in her 60's) asked if I could get her an automatic watch for day to day use. For the past few years she has been using a manual wind.

Anyway, I settled on this.

9k Garrard Date Automatic. 33.5mm 1977 Cost to me with new strap $300.

I put it in a box and she's over the moon.

Don't know yet. the watch is not easily opened. I'll let you know when it's serviced.

Nice watch for a lady! It should have an ETA 2824 inside based on a quick google search.

It would be cool if my wife were into watches it would actually be fun picking out a gift instead she has grown to dislike them due to my watch OCD. Nice pick up for your wife.

A gold watch is a good way to make your wife happy. Many of the female species connect with the jewelry aspect vs gears
