Hi, first post here but long time lurker. As the title says, what’s a sentimental timepiece to you?
For me it’s an old Seiko quartz from the 80s given to me by my father. It was a gift from his parents to him after he graduated high school. He’s since upgraded to a Rolex submariner and passed the Seiko onto me.
It’s a thin, small watch with only a case size of about 34 mm. Definitely an adjustment to the large men’s watches of today, but it quickly grew on me and became one of my most worn pieces. I like to wear it on days where I’m nervous, such as the an important presentation or the start to something new. I feel it brings me luck, in addition to being an elegant piece.
If anyone is curious, I’d happily include an image of it or it’s reference number.
What about you? Which one is special to you?
Beat the shit out of it, bud! I hope the watch gives you the drive to keep fighting! My father passed of pancreatic in 2016 and that purple certainly hits me as well.
Damn this thread has me teared up. Sorry for your loss. I lost mine to the same disease 2013. Commented on this post earlier on the meaning of a crappy watch and what it means to me.
