Milestones.
This ridiculously small Charlie the Tuna promotional quartz watch was bought back when I was a boy in 1986 by collecting UPCs from the labels of tuna cans.
I don't wear it anymore (and it needs a battery), but I keep it in my collection as a milestone, a reminder of how far I've come in my watch journey.
As an adult my tastes have definitely changed from my boyhood whimsy's, but it's always fun to look back and think "what the hell was I thinking" 😆

This watch is Amaz-balls! Really ❤️ it and it's so unique.
I'd wear it TBH. It's not even small?
Lovely little story. Well done and great tenacity with those UPCs.
Watch looks decent to me and a keeper forever. 🙂

Exactly, its the right size for his wrist.
Honestly looks great on the wrist. I would change the battery and wear it. It looks in extremely good condition 👌 Nothing wrong with something fun and quirky every now and then, you even have a good story to tell.
