Looking for a vintage 1996 watch and know nothing. Help?
Hey watch lovers
It's my partner's 30th soon. My original gift plan fell through along with my finances 🫠
Could anyone help me find a watch produced in 1996? Or even point me to reputable sellers of course. I'll do the work!
I know absolutely hee-haw about watches. I've been searching online but it doesn't mean much to me tbh. Honestly even any information from people like you guys who know and like watches would be appreciated if you can't point me to vintage sellers.
What I'm really after is something that is worthy of a 30th gift for <£350. I know the big, luxury brand names and that's it. I've learned today that Seiko isn't always cheap and common and I still can't work out where Tissiot fits 🤷♀️
Useful info:
- I'm UK based.
- Round face is preference
- Metal strap (nothing cheaply plated that will just rub off)
- Face colour is totally flexible
- Preferably not a two-tone gold and silver colour but that's not a deal breaker
- Classic or chunky strap
- 1996 vintage
I'm off to cry and hope for replies.
