When my Father-in-law passed away a year ago, we got his watch. Fresh back from the spa, on croc instead of bracelet (neither of us do that much yellow gold).
About to leave for "my" Omega boutique, to fetch a serviced railmaster and to tease the manager by wearing "his" dark side". The best of all is to wear it a full day.
My new Clint Eastwood. Brando style though. A one owner watch. Sort of puts all those newbie "can I use my Rolex when..." questions into perspective. He used it for everything during all the years. It shows - but it still works. You have to respect a watch like this.
