A wonderful watch for you to cherish
In Response To: for Dad... ()

My deepest condolences, too, on your loss. That's a wonderful watch to cherish and wear in honor and remembrance of your Dad. I lost my father 12 years ago but have his art-deco style Hamilton Brooke (gift from his uncle upon high school graduation in 1939) to cherish. I think of him every time I look at it.
