I do tend to agree. My girlfriend wears a 34mm Date and it fits her perfectly.

Question is, is it worth it, especially since I have found her birth year lady datejust from Miltons with box and papers?
Hello Andy,

You say that watch is from Miltons, but it is not one that any of my businesses have sold or offered. Could you be specific about who is selling it, please?

Edit to update: I have now contacted the two other "Miltons" businesses that are not owned / run by me (though entirely respectable). They say that the watch number is not one they recognise, either.

I would like to see a much better, focussed macro image of that case number.

It may be less important to you, but I separately believe that box is later than the watch....and what about that swing-tag?

If you have the watch already, or if you decide to buy it from whoever is selling it, I would be happy to look it over for you at no cost.

Thankyou,

Haywood

Appologies Haywood, theres been a bit of confusion here which is totally my fault.

My very first post in this topic I mentioned that I found her birth year watch from Miltons which was the top polling watch I was considering at the time of posting. Here is the link for clarity.

https://www.miltonsdiamonds.com/watc...ial-1991-p4554

However my latter post with the pictures and description was for another watch that I found from a different seller (on ebay) which by this time was now the top polling watch, link here

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ladies-Ro...eywU:rk:6:pf:0


Skip to present time and with the advice given from all the members on TRF I decided to get her something a little less expensive as a starting point then look to get her a DJ a little latter down the line if she takes to wearing a watch again. I found an Omega De Ville from a private seller on Chrono24

https://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/de-...-id7955320.htm

I know its quartz but its just a starting point


Many thanks Haywood for the offer of looking over the previous watch for me much appreciated and apologies for the mix up. EDIT - Also sent you a visitor message for further info you need it (your inbox was full)

Cheers
