Well, I am not saying it was an easy sell. But like myself, she is over 50 years of age which means we both grew up in a world where people used watches and mechanical watches of this type are like special jewelry. She wears a vintage Zenith HW if she uses a watch (she works from home) or the Constellation for special events. She hardly ever uses the Seiko 5 I gave her a while back and I have "re-acquired" any other watches I have tried to gift her (mostly vintage).

I, however, get a kick out of wearing her dad's gold Cellini when we go to special events.
