He always claimed he got it with a BIG discount from the AD because no one was buying them in favor of the Speedmaster that had been to the moon a year earlier. I always try to wear it when I visit her. It always puts a smile on her face and she says "Awww, you're still wearing your Dad's watch...I wanted to hit him over his head with it...$230!". God bless her...she can't remember what she had for breakfast.

what a story, thanks for sharing.
