A word of caution
There is a big difference between a gift of a mechanical watch , especially a vintage watch, from a WIS to a non-WIS family member and a gift between 2 non-WIS. How many times have we heard, "Dear, it's March 1, why does it say 29? Please fix it.." "Honey...
Ginger, that is a good reality check.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I do beleive a mint vintage Constellation is outside her price range. I plan to discuss quartz vs. mechanical issues with her at length (though I will certainly attempt to steer her toward a mechanical watch). While a vint...
