An Icoming. 14 Watches update 27 years update.

[toomuchtalk]

Well.

My wife wasn't into watches much. Yet she loved the 14 watches 27 years post, we would sit on the sofa and love reading it.

The day she died I had just picked up my grail watch. And that's a special time piece.

Then I picked up a Speedmaster. Love it. I'm done then I thought.

Yet, when I was saving up for the grail watch, my AD showed me a watch. I passed on it, as I was saving for the Grail.

Now, I've seen one on Chrono 24. I'd have ordered it! Mega nervous as I've not bought like this before.

So an incoming is on the way.

Watches are just material possessions. But are they?

For me, they have started to give a reason to fight back the darkness. They tell the story of our lives. They keep the time of our lives.
And when the darkness envelopes us, they keep ticking. As life does.
And, when we go, they carry on.

So, soon it will be 14 watches again. But a few more years on. My wife will be so mad again! But it's meant to 14 watches. The years we were married.

Thank you all.

So sorry for your loss! She is smiling somewhere at your post.

Down right mean

Congrats and sorry to hear about your wife's passing, my condolences. Can't wait to see what your grail piece is.

I use photobucket but pay to be able to post photos.

The forum has a way to post as well. Here's a quote from another thread that seemed to work.

"you can't use quick post, you have to use advanced. Then on the first row toward the right there is a paperclip. Click on that, select a file at the top and then click upload. that's it!"

It appears that the file can't be larger than 1250 by 1250 so it needs to be sized correctly before posting. Other than that, my attempt appeared it would work.

Steve, you're putting a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Congratulations in advance on the incoming, I hope that you're healing well both physically and emotionally.

For those that don't know Steve take some time and check out his first thread here, an epic read, some bumps in the beginning but all smoothed out. Probably one of the best threads ever on TRF without a doubt!

Upload photos to Imgur and copy/paste a link using the image icon in the bar above.

I used to use photobucket, but they started charging.

Steve, I look forward to seeing your incoming. I've shared your original 27 years post with many watch friends, and we have all been touched and enlightened in some way. I'm glad to see you posting again.

Looking forward to the pics!

So sorry about your loss. One foot in front of the other. No choice but to keep going...

Ahhh... I'm getting teary in my old age. Lovely post Steve. One day I would like a few watches to be treasured as tokens to memories for my family.

Love your posts but your always teasing with the photos, i admire your collection as each watch is really thought out and has a meaning and a story behind it

Thanks for sharing this. Just spent 2 hours going from page to page to book. A life story. The watches were just props in an epic tale.

Thanks boss!

So sorry for your loss. You're right watches are just material possessions, but maybe not really! Congrats and I hope the watch puts a smile on your face. I can tell it's already brought back wonderful memories of your wife and that's why they're not just purely material.
