Very nice, Congrats to her! A birthyear watch is really cool IMO.

Really nice. Looks like a nice sample of this vintage. Is is 30mm or 34mm?

30mm was worried the 34 would be too big a jump for her but if she likes this and wants bigger we can upgrade later,i like it ,simple and classic it doesnt have to shout
