Wedding. Wife wanted me to buy a similar looking Baume & Mercier. I was being economical... last time I hunted with my father. He also wore a Seiko.

Monza with normally aspirated V10s! My only Italian GP.
Last outdoor concert. When will that happen again?

Worn at our wedding 54 years ago, at our son’s Christening in 1971, on a rainy day at Montreal Expo 67 (in a line up at the Czech Pavilion), and at our 50th wedding anniversary in 2016, and might even wear it today. One watch. My one owner Accutron 214, owned it for 56 years. Still looks and runs like new. I love old stuff.

 

My (second) wedding

 

Great thread and nice Mountie uniform!

 

That Eterna is just stunning. Wauw

 

This one for my wedding nearly five years ago..

The only pic I can find where you can see it on the day


and a proper view

 

Don't have a lot of photographic records of watches at important events.

This is on the occasion of our youngest son's wedding.

 

Here’s that watch today, and the arrow points at the same watch on April 17/1966, our wedding day.

 

Picking our first pineapple


Finished and doing the pulling down, planning, oiling and putting back up the whole house balcony that took over a year to do. Hundreds of slats (that apparently stop babies falling and have to be less than a babies head apart as the council building inspector put it 10cm after asking for a actual measurement)

 

This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing.

 

I’m still stuck on @Duracuir1 actually seeing Morrisey and him not canceling the show because someone ate meat at the venue sometime in the preceding decade.

 

Not a great watch pic but the best I could find from my wedding. It was a GMT 16713 Root Beer.

 

Bought this a few weeks before my daughter was born and had it on the day she was born.

 

I have posted this before on another thread some time ago! Anyway here goes, picture from our wedding day in November 1969, you will see I am wearing my Speedy which was then two years old. The second picture is the same Speedy today with my ST1 and 50th Anniversary.
It had almost forty years of daily wear until my wife bought me an Aqua Terra for my 60th birthday and I inherited my Dads UG the same year so I then had three to rotate.
Since joining the forum I have added a further three watches to my small collection.

 

Wonderful how you and @Canuck have cherished and maintained your beautiful watches (and -I hope - beautiful wives) and I wish you many more years together!

 

Well, I am quite fortunate. Still married to the same girl. Celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary in April, this year. Among the group I went to junior and senior high with, and who married later on, there are only two couples still married. As to watches, with the exception of one watch, all my wrist watches are 30 years old or older. My newest pocket watch is from 1962.

 

epic lovely thread

 

The answer to both is yes, I have been very fortunate as in our circle of friends I can think of only one other couple still with their original partner! Thanks for your good wishes.

 

I bought this watch in the October and purposely didn’t wear it until our wedding day in March the following year. Took some willpower but I’m now glad I waited.

 

SMP 2254.50 for the birth of our son last summer. This timepiece recorded his official birth time and will never leave the collection.

I am looking forward to many more special events with this little guy, and the joy of passing it along to him!
