Watches that commemorates special days/goals
So, I wondered what kind of watches people buy/are gifted after they hit a goal in their life which they have been chasing for years or are gifted to commemorate/celebrate something special. I am sure many of you have some cool stories for your watches.
I bought myself an Orient Star watch after I graduated, which I can always look back at and hopefully keep wearing it on my wrist for years.

Congratulations on graduating Oskar! It's a beautiful watch I've been impressed by a lot of the Orient Star watches.
Congrats on the milestone - you have a great watch in the Orient Star. Great brand - and very distinctive to have on your wrist as a discussion piece and reminder of your achievement. Wear it in good health!
Congratulations on graduating. I bought this Cyma to celebrate resisting buying a watch for a month.
I also commemorated my neighbour's goldfish's birthday by buying myself this Camy.
I treated myself with my Sinn after I completed my apprenticeship.
Congrats on your graduation! When I moved away from home and started to live on my own for the first time, I bought myself an Oris Wings of Hope to celebrate the W! Now I wear it on weekends and when I go on dates, for good luck! For me, it stands for ellegance, simplicity and independency!
I'm trying to think. The only one that comes to mind is a Brietling Chronomat Evolution, white dial gold Roman numbers, which was my "reward" for being clean of tobaco/cigarettes after smoking for decades. A long time ago now and still "clean", btw. I suppose you would say my 30th Anniversary present, a Hulk (back when you could buy them out of the case), was gifted.
Congrats!

Good choice. Orient Star is super underrated. They make some bangin watches.
