When I was a young salesman on the street, the watches that were typically given to 30 year service people and retirees with enough years of service were TT DJ's. Execs got YG DD's.

Yeh! I thought that this practice would've gone out of favor a while ago.

Paying a premium for those watches really adds up, especially when you’re talking about a bulk order like that.

The first half decent watch I owned (Aquaracer), which got me started with my latter day horological fascination was an award from my employer in 1999. I still have it and occasionally wear it. It's more symbolic than functional nowadays but I'm as thrilled to have it as I ever was.
