On the phone today mom said she's making sure he's wearing it (now she wants a Cartier Tank since dad got...). Here's what dad's 1971 OMEGA Dynamic he wore for decades looks like. We got them new when visiting Switzerland. He gave it to me last year, I had it sympathetically restored... NO case / bracelet polishing.

Such an amazing gift and beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. It feels great to purchase a watch for yourself but so much better to gift a loved one.

indianmachine · 10 July 2022, 12:41 PM

Congrats! Great to see it going to someone who will love it and use it as intended.

Boopie · 10 July 2022, 12:57 PM

Thanks for sharing your story, Steven. Great to see you including your father in your passion. I did something similar for my mother last year, the joy and happiness it brought me to see my mother in tears is unforgettable.

Grateful to have such loving and selfless parents in my life.

Awesome job. I hope to do the same some day.

I am so moved by your story and by the beautiful son (and husband) that you are. Thank you for sharing. Brought a tear to my eye. I immensely loved the pictures too. Again, thank you for sharing Steven. 🥹

I so wish I’d been in a financial situation to do this for my late dad… it wasn’t meant to be. Thankfully I showed him love in different ways.

enjoythemusic · 11 July 2022, 05:57 AM

A most humble thanks everyone. Just came back from their home and we're all sooooo happy.

Perfect! Many of us are blessed to have the opportunity.

Plus....

Isn't that really the point, letting those you love know how much they mean to you and are very much appreciated for... everything.
