elchino 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Hard times, but the good thing of this is: you and your dad sharing that love for the watches even in hard circumstances. Sharing something with your dad is priceless. My best wishes for his health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 246 Posted December 1, 2014 Good post, and hope your dad improves. I lost my mum in September this year. In 1974 she bought me an Omega Seamaster Cosmic (one of the ones they did then with a monocoque case). It was way more than she could afford at the time. I've worn it for years and it's come through many adventures, a few services and a replacement crystal. It still keeps perfect time. Now she's gone I can barely bear to wear it - couldn't deal with it if it were damaged or stolen. It's a vintage watch now and for me has so many associations. In a sense the watches we love are a throw back to an age before electronics - when precision and craftsmanship were at a premium. I think the hobby has a strong sense of nostalgia about it. Lots of people think I'm nuts (another watch!), but what the hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
