That's amazing Seth. Your a good soul....I am going to venture a guess that you parents raised you this way. You know, you reap what you sow. I hope your dad gets through this so you can be together to enjoy watches and, well, just hearing his voice. Godspeed

What a wonderful story and a wonderful, meaningful gift for your Dad. You’ll enjoy seeing it on him every time you get together and of course he’ll treasure it all the more.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Seth that was a beautiful thing to do

I slightly did the opposite and made the decision to gift my three Rolex watches to my 3 beautiful daughters, you should of seen the look on their faces, it was priceless.

They now don't have to wait until I go, but have the pleasure of wearing them, making their own history with them. and I have even more pleasure seeing them wear them.

So, I can fully emphasise on how you felt.

You are very lucky. My Dad could care less about watches, I don't even dare talk about them around him let alone show them off to him, for fear of being criticized and chastised.
