The Ghost is Gone

Well for a while anyway.

My old man was drooling over it today and it just looked so good on him.

So I gave it to him.

My dad wears a watch that I purchased for him. He wears it ALL THE TIME. It just tickles me to death to see it on his wrist. Letting him have your watch for a while sounds like a great idea

That's nice of both of you to let the other enjoy your watches, quite a good idea indeed!

Sad that you dont have it but great that you and your father share this passion. I wish my father had this addiction, I've been trying to get him to replace his quartz baume and mercier with a patek for years but he simply doesnt understand the difference. Hell spend 50k on a lamp but doesnt understand why I would spend 10k on a watch. Its actually infuriating. Get that ghost back so you can sell me your wg sub!
