My son got married on Saturday, I wore this, it was my father's, I inherited it when he passed, my son will get it when I go to the big AD in the sky.

Congrats on your son's wedding! Beautiful watch, thanks for sharing.

envuks · 10 April 2018, 12:56 AM

THIS is what it’s all about! Fantastic piece and story! Think about the family history here. This watch will have been worn by 3 generations of your family patriarch by the time your son gets it, plus it was worn on his wedding day.

I love when a watch builds up sentimental value like this. It’s what it’s all about in my opinion

Thanks for sharing such a special piece

nyc2la · 10 April 2018, 12:59 AM

Great watch, and an even better story. Let’s make sure he waits a long time before getting it, though. Continue to wear and enjoy it in the best of health.

That's beautiful. Congrats on your son's wedding.

Beautiful watch. Looks to be in great condition. Hope your son has to wait a looooong time to wear it.

TheRolexKingofLV · 10 April 2018, 02:14 AM

Beautiful piece! Congrats to the whole family on the wedding!

mjclark32 · 10 April 2018, 02:16 AM

Fantastic heirloom!
Congrats to you and the family!

JohnnyRol · 10 April 2018, 02:19 AM

That’s a timeless watch. And I love the idea of wearing it on wedding day. I wore my white dial TOG on my wedding day and will have to pass it off to one of my daughters as I have no sons.

Congratulations once again Doc.

I just love it when a watch is passed down through the generations.
Do us all a favor though and hang onto it for a good long while.

I get married in 2 weeks and will be wearing my BLNR
