Safety deposit box Tudor "Lollipop" story!
Hey everyone,
Just posted a new story on Watch Patina Here's a short excerpt: "This was Joe's first suit and tie job, so he went out and bought a whole new wardrobe. He shared his new opportunity with his Mom – who felt her son needed a watch to complete his “dress for success” look. So she decided to give Joe his dad’s Tudor, which she had kept in safety deposit box for over a decade..." Click title below for the full write-up... Thanks so much; let me know what you think...

Hey Nick almost forgot. Tell your new coworker about TRF too so they can learn more and who knows it may help fuel their passion too. Great forum and great people!

Great write up of a great story.
I hope that one day my wife will be able to do that for my kids. We have talked several times about what watches I would want to stay in the family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hey Brandon - Thanks for reading! With all the crazy selling of watches nowadays, I love hearing about one that hasn't strayed too far from the original owner . Have a great week!

Cool story and nice watch. I'm the youngest of three boys. My dad had a gold Omega that he wanted to give my older brothers, but they wanted Swatches. I found the watch and got it working. They both regret not taking that watch every time I show up with it on my wrist.

I have 2 sons, so it will tough to decide who gets the 5513 and the 16700. Seems only fair that my daughter gets grandpa's small Omega... |
