Hello, I've been lurking here for a few days and thought I'd introduce myself as I've loved poking around the posts and seeing all the beautiful watches you all have. This forum is a treasure to behold.
I'm looking to start my Omega collection soon but want to start with a specific one - long story short, my grandfather left me his watch which he had for his retirement from British Steel but my mother took it back off me and gave it to my stepfather instead, obviously he doesn't have the same sentimental value as I have and it's killing me to see him gardening with it on, it's breaking my heart actually. But there we go.
Anyway, I've decided to buy my own. It's going to be a 1968 watch that's a ladies version of my grandfather's so it's specific. I'm having trouble finding it's name though, it has black leather strap, a gold face and looks very
similar to the Genève (I think) but his didn't have any writing on the face, just Omega and the crown, he had it in 1977.
So that's me, just wanted to say hello and how much I love this forum.
Edited to add a pic of what I'm looking for, not asking, just showing
