Thankful my aunt found my grandfather’s church watch!
Did any Crunchies do a one and done on buying a watch like me?
Tudor and Longines are crushing it lately

I set my Omega SMP 300 three months ago to the second. I have since lost three seconds. The watch is amazing.
I have two watches that hold sentimental value. One is my late grandfather’s watch. Obviously means the world to me. Just an old gold plated timex. Nothing special to most. For me, it was the watch of marine and steel mill worker and family man that I loved. I wear it hard for the holidays. The other is my Omega Seamaster 300m Professional. The only watch I have ever bought myself. When I was 27, I had stage 4 cancer. I thought it would be a miracle to make it to 28, let alone 40. It coincided with a better job, married, two dogs, having a house, and most needs filled. I decided to celebrate and my wife was all for it. I find tremendous sentimental value in the fact that when I look at it, I know I had a 5 percent chance (what they told me later) of not being able to experience it on my wrist or any of the other awesome things in my life. I’m sorry I know that was long winded, but for me, they aren’t just something that tell me the time or look pretty.
