She is a smart woman and has good taste. June 24, 1992 was our 5th Anniversary. We just had our first child, we had our first home and things were just a wee bit tight. But she found a way to touch my heart. Now, 32 years later, I still have the Raymond Weil 5531, original band and even the case it came in. What is also amazing is how well it keeps time! True, it is a quartz watch from the early 90s. They do not command much attention but for me it has obvious sentimental value. When I recently had a new battery put in, the jeweler was surprised to see it still sported its original watch band. I have not used it as a daily so the band is in very good condition. I wear it on special occasions.
A recent test against time.is showed just 4 seconds lost over 14 days. Not bad for a watch that may be quartz but still has a drive train and date mechanism to drive.
I gave her a nice woman's Seiko. But leather bands are hard to care for. It has spent most of its life in the drawer. 2Y00-5400 from 1989 based on the serial number. Maybe on another post.
