No Price, Hype or Demand Can Beat This...

It doesn't matter how popular, how rare, how expensive or hard-to-get a watch is, it can never beat wearing your father's watch.

My dad wore it everyday while raising us, travelling the world, building multiple houses and more for almost 40 years!

As amazing as my other watches are, this one will always be the best!

Price or demand is of no importance because I doubt you would ever part with it. Cherish it!

Lovely post and beautiful watch. There are some things you just can't buy in the market and get the same sentimental value. This is one of them and also a great example of why I love this hobby so much.

Love it!

My most sentimental watch is a "lowly" Seiko SKX007. I have far nicer watches in the collection but that watch has traveled the world with me and I was wearing it when my daughter was born. Price is irrelevant when it comes to making memories with items.
