These genuinely touching stories of treasured hand-me-downs serve as a reminder to me that when my old dad eventually passes on (he's into his nineties now and still - touch wood - going strong) I'll be the lucky recipient of his horological assemblage; around 30 of the finest plastic quartz timepieces, a battered Sekonda dress watch with virtually opaque plexi, and two £30 Gate Specials I gave him in order to raise the overall standard (and increase the value by an order of magnitude) of the collection. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're telling me the secret to longevity isn't watches?!? Cancel my orders Mary, we're going in a different direction! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,484 Posted December 3, 2021 Welcome to PAMSDAY, Gang! Today's ride is PAM 6567 w, a sandwich dial on a dark chocolate strap. Have had this for a long time; one of the favorites; no I don't remember when and from whom I secured it. Just an easy-to-read charmer. dave: 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
