1879 Lancaster pocketwatch, one of the first watches they ever made after opening (serial is ~4000). Lancaster was later renamed Hamilton, the company we all know and love.

Wait. You may feel like you have a lot of money now because of low/ nonexistent expenses living at home, but once you start paying 3K a month just to live (rent, car payments, gas, utilities, and groceries add up fast for a single person), you’ll be wishing you had a little more financial padding so you can feel comfortable buying something nice once and a while without spending all your savings. That Hamilton is a great watch. If you get another watch anytime soon, see if you can get it for a HS graduation gift so you don’t blow your savings.
