Not all NWAs are a happy one.
Got my dad this Raymond Weil years back for his birthday. It wasn’t an expensive watch but he was over the moon as it was his first “luxury watch”.
From family functions to day to day, he wore the hell out of the watch for every occasion possible with pride.
After many many years of creating memories with the piece, he peacefully passed away yesterday.
Life comes to a full circle and the watch made its way back to me. Removed the old broken strap and replaced it with this Bulang & Sons strap.
Looking down at my wrist will not tell me the time, it will remind me of the fond memories we had with him.
I will wear it with pride.
I love you dad.

Sorry for your Loss 🙏 my condolences to you and your family. Glad the Raymond has come full circle and hope it serves as a reminder of the good times in the days and weeks to come.
Sorry for your loss. I had purchased the below watch in 1990 when I was deployed as a scout in Desert Storm. I gave it to my father in the late 90s and it was his watch until last fall when it also came back to me. Wear your watch and ultimately it will bring a smile to your face when you remember your father. All the best.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Guard that well.
Thank you Sir.
Touching post…I’ll unfortunately have a similar story in the not so distant future…I’m trying to every minute with the best guy I know!
Reading this reminded me of the last few days I had with him. Nothing in this world can prepare any of us for such a loss. May you have the most beautiful of memories with him. My love to you and your family. Be strong my friend.

Losing those you love is always hard, but memories keep them alive in your heart. My parents live there and your father will live there for you as well. God bless.
So sorry to hear, but what a great memento for the memory of him.
Quite sorry for your loss. Also glad that you were able to clearly create and share such memorable moments with him for as long as you were. May your watch help serve as a loving reminder well into the future.
Found my Dad's 60's Rotary automatic in a drawer years after he died. Gives me joy every time I wear it. In time, your's will too.
So sad. So heartfelt. So sorry for your loss
I am very sorry for your loss Naz! Losing a parent is not easy to cope with! I lost my mum in December just before Christmas so I know how painful it is!
Your dad’s watch, now yours, is a wonderful little piece of your father! Since he cherished it and wore it with pride all these years it makes it even more significant and meaningful for you and your family! This is your grail watch now! May your dad rest in peace my friend and be always remembered with love 🙏
