A watch inherited from my father

This watch is from my late father, he was a watch lover, but his collection was mostly fashion watches. This Tissot Alarm is the only "real" watch in his collection. But this is not a watch that suits my personality, so I almost never wear it, I tend to like diver or field watches, this watch is mostly hidden in the watch box.

Do you have similar experience? Do you have watch left by someone you love, but you never wear it ?

Yup, inherited a couple of broken pocket watches, I guess I'll get them fixed one day, but I chose not to have children (hate 'em) & neither did my sister so it seems a bit pointless..

My dad left me his Seiko UFO when he died. I rarely wear it, it's huge and not at all in my style, but I love it and had it completely serviced only a few years back. It doesn't have to be something I wear, it just reminds me of him so it's nice to see in the watch box.
