Gift from me to me for my graduation (the watch, not the dog)

it fits you well! I’ve bought and sold this watch 3 times bc every time I see it I fall in love then forget it’s slightly too big for my wrist.  

I have a 8inch wrist and even for me it's the largest i can pull off. I really think they should make a smaller version, people would go mad.

Gift from my dad 27 years ago on my wedding day. I wear it every anniversary. So far married to the same girl!

Gift from me to me for my graduation too!

Nice choice! My graduation is coming up in May, so I'm looking at options right now. Leaning hard towards the Seiko SPB245, the 1959 Alpinist "reimagined" green dial.

Nice watch and nice Pup. The lug to lug on the Bulova was just too much for me. 
And yes, I buy watches to mark milestones for myself and others. 

@thewatchcomedian Always jealous of folks who can pull off that watch so effortlessly. An absolute classic and great choice!

For myself, to memorialize me paying off the last of my student loans which took me more than a decade, I treated myself to the BB58, which also was my first luxury watch. Every time I look down - just reminded of the incredible weight finally off my shoulders!

I see your dog is waiting for his bone. Nice moon watch to. 😃

I do have a memorial time piece don't have a photo but it's my Dad's old watch. He was probably one of the most frugal (maybe cheap) humans ever to walk this earth so it's an Indigo Timex from the 80s. Still runs and every year on his Birthday I wear it to remember him. 

Love the Moon Watch by the way. Wish my wrist was 1/2 and inch larger so I could pull it off.

That’s awesome!

My late Grandmother gave me this Seiko quartz back in the mid 80's and I have her old Seiko watch after she passed at aged 98, I keep both watches together to remind me of this gift to me and my beautiful wonderful Grandmother.

To me, most are to memorialize a special event.  Here's one:

After craving it for years, I purchased a Speedy to commemorate the birth of my son.  When he's old enough, I'll give to him.  Until then, I'll manage as the caretaker.  :)

the bulova lunar pilot is the best moon watch for this price. the only problem is the quartz movement even if it's an accutron.

For telling the story of your memorial timepiece message the IG page @wristechoes , it's a nice collection of watch stories from the #watchfam 👌

I don't feel like quartz is a problem, especially since this is a chronograph. I would not like to pay the service cost of a mechanical chrono, so i'll stick to quartz for those pieces 😅
