I have 2 that are particularly sentimental. I purchased one and one was gifted to me.
I've worn a watch since I was about 12 so always had a love for them. When I finished university and got my first engineering job I purchased a LNIB Omega Seamaster 2254.50 from a buyer on WUS. I've owned it for 14 years now and it has been all over the world with me on vacations and for business. It was on my wrist when I met my future wife and years later when I proposed. It's been on my wrist for the birth of both of our children and many important milestones along the way. Heck, it was even on my wrist when I bought my first Rolex.
The second watch is an old Elgin pocket watch bought by my great grandfather. This was gifted to me by my Dad last year and is over 100 years old. It was serviced a few years ago and still works. Although not especially rare or valuable, it is a glimpse into a different period in time.
