So awesome!
I wish my sub had more significance than 'I got a good deal on it.'

Thank you so much! Yes, you made a very good point there. It is more than just a collection, but a deep personal story behind it.

Thank you so much. Such an emotional moment but a new chapter begins with a new story that awaits for this watch.

Each watch has a story behind it. Yours was also a special moment too - no need to compare.

Fantastic piece and even more fantastic emotional connection to it.
I have a similar story with my watch and there’s no monetary value to the piece that could ever match the indelible, meaningful and comforting emotional value of it.

He will always be with you every time you look at it, feel it on your wrist, and also bump it on a door handle 😝.

Whoa. So great, so special, huge congratulations on graduate school, and my condolences on your loss, but what a memorable thing to have that you will remember every time you look at your wrist
