Heart warming story, thank you posting this. I'm about to do the opposite and gift a new one to my most deserving nephew. I just have to find the right watch.
As a matter of fact I was going to post a thread today on my predicament cause I really need help on what to give him.

That is the best story i've heard in years. You did the right thing and will get more out of that experience then the watch itself could ever give you. You're one of the good ones.
