My first watch was a 1948 Ingersol Mickey Mouse given to me at five years old, still runs!
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
My Dad flew trans-Atlantic flights during WWII with the Air Transport Camnand. He bought a Roamer Brevete manual-wind watch during a re-fueling stop in the Azores in 1943. It was his only watch for many years of my childhood. I had it serviced a few years ago - runs great.
