Still looks great, John. The light box brings out the highlights.

Looks great!!!! My most valuable watches are from my Dad, a Benrus Wristalarm, and a Hamilton gold tank from the late 40's. I misplaced the Hamilton recently, was out of my mind for a day. I found it at work. Now it's on my wrist, or in the safe, nowhere else!!!

This was still a good story, even the second time around.

I would have to say my grandfather's Omega Seamaster. He was a surgeon and I have many hand-made items he collected in payment from patients that could not afford to pay but felt something was owed.

Awesome story. As my wife always reminds me. Memories cannot be bought or sold and sometimes have no value outside of the beholder. 100% of the reason that I bought my Nomos Orion Datum is because my grandpa wore a manual wind Timex when I was a kid and he let me wind it. The only thing that I own that makes me emotional every time I pick it up.
