A revival of the Watch thread
That is a great heirloom to pass on to your son.

This needs a service, a crystal, and some cleaning, but the case is in good shape.

The coolest watches are family heirlooms IMO.

My uncle has my grandfather's Rolex which looks a lot like that one. Agreed family heirlooms are the best kind.

My dad has some great old Hamiltons, as his mother was a lifelong employee there. The best is probably an original Ventura. I'd be happy if I never inherited one of them.

Beach Watch 2015

Every year in the spring, I tend to pick up something fun for the beach. I usually turn it loose soon after returning. To be honest, this one may hang around a while.

I thought so. Very handsome watch. They now carry a SS bracelet for it.

I saw that bracelet. I think it may wear too chunky, but the price is good. I'll surely be selling the watch and a few others soon enough, so I'm going to pass on the bracelet. But they have a heck of a bargain in that watch!

Don't ever leave one of these in the safe for six months straight. Frown

Rogue, is the red hand a second hand or a 24 hour, GMT hand? I assume it is a second hand, but I am not sure.
