No Rolex among these (unfortunately), although there might have been in different circumstances.

From my maternal grandfather and his father, respectively:

ref. 2484


ref. 2507




From my paternal grandfather, by way of my father (he had originally given it to him in 1961, and then inherited it some 30 years ago):

ref. 14389, cal. 268




From my father:

The one he wore in college...


The one my grandfather (his future FIL) gave to him (he didn't realize it was solid gold until I looked and told him):


And one I wish he still had to give to me! I think it's a 5508.

I love looking through old family photos trying to see which watch brands my family was wearing back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Seems Hamilton was a family favorite

This was passed down from my father who bought it for what is was built for (antimagnetic) and not so much for the name. One day it will find it's way onto my son's wrist.
You don't fancy adopting me do you? I'm really low maintenance...

What is this "Low Maintenance" of which you speak? I don't think it's possible with my brain damaged (not literally) 7 year old.

If there might be a few casks of Speyside's finest involved, we may have a topic for discussion...
