Thank you so much for all the replies! I will try to answer the questions as best I can
1) size - not looking for anything too big, he is an average size man
2) Interests/activity - pretty active plays tennis and does quite a lot of walking
3) pilots watch question - for a vintage watch of this age it resonates as at the time he was involved in RAF related stuff, he is interested in history and RAF/WW2 it being something that he grew up involved/knowing about. He is also a longtime F1 and motor racing fan
4) New vs vintage - I'm open on this, had the idea of getting something birth year/milestone year for the sentimental value but its not a must. He does like watches and is knowledgeable but doesn't have many/something special so I know this is a gift he would really appreciate. He has an Orient that he currently wears daily, I think it is orient men's 'mako ii' Navy blue colour. I think this is the style he likes but I would like it to be different as its a special gift so perhaps a different colour etc.
