It's not about the gift...
You are one lucky man Poy.
And I firmly believe that the giver is as happy as the receiver - giving away what one cherishes to someone else who will cherish it equally if not more is an absolute joy. And I believe your friend has found a worthy new owner.
Enjoy it in good health!
Time I never knew I would one day own. Value of Time
Sometimes I read others with envy when telling us about very special timekeeper, often related to a parent, sentimental, special event or something long forgotten, but often described as a value that cannot be bought, time that cannot be timed or priced. ...
That is amazing
Both the story and the watch. You are a lucky man - congratulations! - SJX
Very special...
Lovely story. Your friend has added significantly to this watches’ history. I am sure you will enjoy it with great pleasure and pride. Andrew
