Graduation gift from my late father.
Finally done with grad school and was not expecting this gift from him before he recently passed. Such a meaningful and timeless piece that is worth keeping. :)

Wear it in good health. Congrats on graduating, and cool to carry a piece (literally) that was part of your dad’s life. Looks great.

You are Thomas Magnum and I claim my £5.


Enjoy the piece, nothing could feel better than that touching your hand as your father would have when you were young.
