Hey everyone,

Just posted a new story on Watch Patina

Here's a short excerpt:

"This was Joe's first suit and tie job, so he went out and bought a whole new wardrobe. He shared his new opportunity
with his Mom – who felt her son needed a watch to complete his “dress for success” look. So she decided to give Joe his
dad’s Tudor, which she had kept in safety deposit box for over a decade..."

Click title below for the full write-up... Thanks so much; let me know what you think...

Hey Nick almost forgot. Tell your new coworker about TRF too so they can learn more and who knows it may help fuel their passion too. Great forum and great people!

bdex75 · 15 March 2016, 11:36 AM

Great write up of a great story.

I hope that one day my wife will be able to do that for my kids. We have talked several times about what watches I would want to stay in the family.

Hey Brandon - Thanks for reading! With all the crazy selling of watches nowadays, I love hearing about one that hasn't strayed too far from the original owner

. Have a great week!

GEORGE505 · 15 March 2016, 12:39 PM

Cool story and nice watch. I'm the youngest of three boys. My dad had a gold Omega that he wanted to give my older brothers, but they wanted Swatches. I found the watch and got it working. They both regret not taking that watch every time I show up with it on my wrist.

Thanks for sharing

do they still have the Swatches?! ... I have a few "nice" watches, so if I'm a dad someday (I hope to be), my children will have a few pretty-decent ones to pick from (none are Swatches...)

Thanks! They have a nice collection between them, mostly Rolex and Omega, but the always offer trade-bait for the "heirloom".

I have 2 sons, so it will tough to decide who gets the 5513 and the 16700. Seems only fair that my daughter gets grandpa's small Omega...
