  Hmm, that's a good thought too. Hadn't considered that aspect.

  Excellent, thanks @freddo

  That all makes sense. I have found a few mid size and wasn't sure if it was just inaccurate measures! I think 30mm would be perfect as she likes my dad's omega Deville at 34 mm.

  I'm also cautious that a 36mm datejust might be just that bit too big.

  I guess I'll have to go shopping with her, may ruin the surprise a little but it's important to get right!

  Thanks

  Hmm, that confirms my instinct. It's also the added pressure of choosing just the right one...

  Mid 90's Rolex datejust, ladies, two tone... What should I be looking for?

  Still searching for my wife's 40th gift watch. A 1978 gold-ish Rolex is harder to find. Maybe a 90s one is better as it'll be a daily wear? Hence the search for a two tone, champagne face datejust. Actually the 36mm or the ladies 26mm would be fine.

  I'm just getting way too confused looking online so might check out some real stores here in Sydney. Budget of $5000 seems likely.

  Actually could be many things. Coils, maf/map sensors. O2 sensors, fuel pump. Clogged fuel filter etc etc. If it's happening with the cold then it's probably electrical.

  Sounds like throttle position sensor maybe?

  I really like that. If you don't get on with it let me know... As long as you'll post to Australia

  Has @Dammit actually preempted Porsche by building his own version of this?
