I don't keep anything I don't use. Flip it.

Im a sentimental fool, so sometimes I tend to hang on.
the DSSD was with me and my family wiht our first trip to Cancun, so that will never leave.
But then again, i flipped my Omega SMPc ( which I wore to Maui first trip)
so, who knows?

my rule of thumb: if you don't wear it more than a week and you dont even think about it, flip it

I'm a bit more sentimental than most but I say keep it Seth.

True, it's not your dads watch but it's how it makes you feel that counts the most. That's why this hobby is so great, it evokes emotions in all of us. Just my two

A flipper asking floppies about flipping?

If a PP is in the cards, then you are already hours behind schedule

The meaning of life for a wristwatch is to be on a wrist.

Set it free. Let it live the life it is dreaming of. It yearns to be on a loving wrist, out in the sunlight (or in a cave, as it were).

Ship it.

I'm still a bit confused where your dad gave you a watch for your 30th bday, but then he sold it? Or did he just kinda "let you have use of it"?

Either way, that Polar you have is not that watch. Flip it.
