My dad’s Omega. My dad was a very frugal accountant, and I remember him wearing only cheap digitals in the ‘80s-‘90s. Last year, I asked him to mail me his old watches, thinking there could be a cool old Casio or something in there. When the package arrived, I pulled out a sock containing a ball of watches, and, among all the junk, was this Omega. It turns out he got it as a wedding present, and he never wore it after I was born. I can’t believe he had an Omega this whole time and never mentioned it. Typical dad move.

My Tag Heuer Formula One Alarm. The first watch my wife bought me over ten years ago when we were broke kids and spending $1,000ish on it back then was a bigger sacrifice than buying my James Cameron this year. She’s always supported me in work and life, and this piece is a daily reminder of that. It’s the only watch I’ll never sell no matter what.

Thank you my friend I’m really loving it

I’m actually booked for a conference in October in Vancouver so I’m hoping to see the sales associate that sold it me.
