Dad's Watches

My Dad also has a thing for watches, He has a Cartier tank, Rolex Date and a Omega Seamaster. His three watches are so Beautiful!

Sorry for the grainy Pics, the lighting was a little dark.

His Date, given to him by my mom around the time I bought my Explorer.



His Cartier Tank, grandpa bought it for him in Hong Kong a while back. Dad says he would give it to me when I go to college.

Looks pretty good on me eh?




My Favorite Pic:


His Omega Seamaster, bought on a cruise to Bermuda.

I wish I could wear it more often, but it has to stay in the safe. Plus the batteries are dead.

Kyle, I've always been a fan of tank watches. The Cartier is a beaut.

Well my watchmaker went to change the battery on the Cartier, and when he opened it we found some bad news. Torneau, had changed the battery very very sloppily. The gasket went under the battery, leaving the movement exposed to moisture. So much for a $100 battery change. My watchmaker only charged $5. But now the watch is running fine.
