Great story!

: Mine involves a recent (Christmas just gone) story.

: On Christmas Day my 8 year old daughter was excited to give me a
: carefully wrapped and small present.

: I carefully opened it and was amazed to see my first ever watch
: which was bought for me by my father when I was 6 (1977)

: I was quite shocked as I didn't realise my father had kept it. My
: daughter had colluded with him and said she wanted to get me
: something related to watches for Christmas but didn't know what
: to get and didn't have much money so my father came up with the
: idea.

: I was stunned for a few seconds and strangely as I looked at the
: small face it transported me back into a classroom at my Junior
: school. I remembered being in a particular class wearing the
: watch, 6 or 7 years old. Funny how your brain stores stuff, I
: hadn't remembered my Junior school in that much detail for
: years.

: It's nothing special, a Mortima manual Timex esque watch.

: Looking at it now maybe my love of rally straps also stems from it!

: Keeps wonderful time by the way!
