Hi, first post here but long time lurker. As the title says, what’s a sentimental timepiece to you?
For me it’s an old Seiko quartz from the 80s given to me by my father. It was a gift from his parents to him after he graduated high school. He’s since upgraded to a Rolex submariner and passed the Seiko onto me.
It’s a thin, small watch with only a case size of about 34 mm. Definitely an adjustment to the large men’s watches of today, but it quickly grew on me and became one of my most worn pieces. I like to wear it on days where I’m nervous, such as the an important presentation or the start to something new. I feel it brings me luck, in addition to being an elegant piece.
If anyone is curious, I’d happily include an image of it or it’s reference number.
What about you? Which one is special to you?
My first watch was a titanium eco drive! Gifted to me by my grandfather on my 10th birthday. Still have it and still wear it although not on the original rubber strap, it broke from overuse. That watch has gone to many, many places. The original solar battery is still going strong 15yrs later!
I’m sure your kid will love it
