Sharing my 9/11 watch

I ordered this 20th anniversary addition last year, but it took some time to receive. I thought I'd share it on this day, as we never forget. Luminox made 911 pieces and donated proceedes from each sale to the Tunnel to the Tower Foundation.

Very cool and unique watch. That’s also a really good charity that does a lot of good. Thanks for sharing.

That's a lovely tribute. We will never forget.

I travelled from the UK to visit the 9/11 site and found it immensely moving. It is impossible to sum up the sentiments.

Thanks everyone

I thought it was quite unique when I saw it. In general, I'm a don't buy it if I'm not going to wear it type person, but this one was bought more for the cause and uniqueness.

Nice watch, Wade. Really like the more tactical look of the piece, but more importantly that it commemorates 9/11.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a great organization. Makes that very nice watch even better. Congratulations.
