I don't have any... 馃槵
If you're anything like myself, you're wearing them! I'm not independently wealthy, and they're not inexpensive! so I wear all the watches in my collection regularly 馃榾 Cost aside, they each tell a story (generally 50yrs or more) and it would be a shame to leave them in a box somewhere where no one could appreciate them.

Get a pic man! I've got one of those too.. A pocket watch that I am the 4th custodian of. One day, it will pass to my eldest daughter. She asks me about once a week if she can have it now. She's 6.

My daughter gets the Omega I wore to her birth. She's 9 months old now.

My daughters will probably show up here in 20 years or so starting a thread like 'I just inherited this from my dead dad OddBoy, is it worth anything?'

6 size 14k Waltham from about 1893. This was a safe queen. The guy who sold it to me hesitated because he thought I was actually going to wear it and possibly scratch it up, but he runs a business and that business is selling watches so I got the watch.

So I wear it, not often but it does get out! And yes, it now has scratches!

Very cool! My oldest son will get a birth year Speedmaster and the youngest will get a birth year Tudor Pelagos.
