my PR50 :)

[asadtiger]

hello All

this is my PR50 that I have worn for more than five years now. My dad gave it to me as an admission gift in engineering university and I have worn it ever since in everything. My dad bought it in 1998 and gave it to me, without ever really wearing it, in 2004.

It has never EVER given me ANY trouble. Never a fault developing. I have even worn it in hiking, other sports and a lot of physical college activities (like water-fights etc ) and it has been my best partner. I have the bracelet but I always liked straps better and I changed it to one as soon as I got it. Never worn the bracelet.I have great emotional as well as practical respect for this watch.

the strap is changed. I am also sharing it so that you guys can throw some light on its age. I mean when did PR50 model begin cuz I haven't seen an older version of it than mine, so is mine the first model PR50? what exactly is its year of making and how long was this specific model made? I like this old version better than the new PR50 without the crown protectors.

Freely share your thoughts.

Asad, Great looking PR50...looks fantastic!

Below was the first Swiss watch my wife gave me. I remember being fascinated by the fact that the crystal was made out of sapphire and that it ran without a battery. Later, I made it stuntastic with this beat up/worn out genuine shark strap. It has always run fast...about +10/+20 seconds per day. But hey, at least im always early.

Very classy watch, surprise that i can take such a beating!
That's really what makes a good watch, the rich personal history behind it and the time it spends on your wrist. Do remember to service it though, you'd want to pass that on to your son/daughter one day!
