My wife's watch: We re-used the movement from her old watch: (she got sick of bumping the spikey buttons with her chin while delivering babies, but she wore it for 5 years before Bjorn smoothed out the damn buttons)
This is the watch that I gave to my wife when she graduated from med school. My thought is that someday it can be handed down to my daughter when she graduates from med school, or when she plays carnegie hall for the first time. Either one. No pressure though.
Well, there's a reason I didn't post the photo and just the link. From a percent to purchase standpoint, it will likely retain it's value more than any other watch in this thread. Therefore, it's less frivolous than it may seem. Should we ever fall on hard times, that thing can fetch us some mortgage payments, a Casio.. not so much.
I remember you telling me the story of how that watch came to be in your possession. -couldn't really have a watch thread without that link.
