And that's what I gave to her. Bought just a few hours before the lockdown in Barcelona. She loves it!

Has she shown much interest in watches before she turned 18? Best regards

From the eighties, a little bit a mess of different parts, the reference came with an oyster bracelet (thus the links), but the case, crown, dial (a great one) are correct for that model. The only thing not original is the bezel, I guess, so flawless! She's interested in anything's vintage, but her curiosity for watches, I’m afraid, is just the result of her father's obsessions!

I hope that life is good for her and that she finds happiness in her hopes and aspirations. Best wishes The Captain
