Hello Robin! Your watch is a good example to confirm...
... that a timepiece doesn´t need to be a rare Sub or PP to became priceless.
It is a beautiful watch with a significative story behind. You´ll never let it go at any price for sure!
It looks very nice with the leather straps. As a matter of fact I also like to play with leather straps in my Rolex watches from time to time and find them charming and comfortable to wear them.
Enjoy this little cute Rolex in good health my friend!
Very cordially, Abel.
My most sentimental watch
This watch was passed on to me 22 years ago. I was 14 then when my dad passed away (he was only 44). this vintage Rolex Precision is not an expensive nor collectible piece but to me, it is priceless for I can always remember my dad wearing this watch when...
Lovely, and priceless, due to the story behind. Yes,
You should wear it more often! Best, Nicolas.
I will Nico
I need to wear this more often. Each time I wear it, I see my dad in the watch. It\'s very heartwarming indeed Cheers Robin
Looks great on your wrist.
I think Patek really hit the nail when they advertise about passing a watch "to the next generation". A wristwatch is something very personal and wearing dad's or mom's watch somehow reminds us about the connection on daily basis. Best, Kari
I agree Kari
Mechanical watches outlive us. And our next generations can see us thru these watches we hand down to them. It\'s an awesome feeling! Cheers Robin
Priceless....
....hey Robin....a lovely watch and priceless. We share some commonality. My dad passed away when he was young....i was at 13yrs. my most precious watch is his JLC....which I am lucky to still have. Yes.....when we consider "value" in this world, it is al...
Thanks for sharing Joe
Your dad\'s JLC must be your most special watch! Priceless indeed Cheers Robin
It is......
.....i would trade all the others for just that one. Yes, value is what we have in our head....not our bank.
Totally agree my friend
And also in the heart, where it is most precious and valuable indeed Cheers Robin.
Well done Robin!
Cheap or expensive doesn't matter. The sentimental value is more more important. When I wear my father's watch I feel he is still with me... Constantin
Thanks Constantin!
We share the same sentiments. Our dads\' watches are priceless indeed! One thing money can never buy (other than time) - memories Cheers Robin
Thank your for your kind words of wisdom
Indeed, many of us can relate to these feelings my friend Cheers Robin
Very nice, Robin!
Happy you have your fathers watch! :) Enjoy it, my friend. Best Blomman
Very nice!
Very nice combination you have! Straps opens the doors to new watches. I've recently enjoyed a few new straps from Hirsch...
Beautiful bad sad story.
The great think is that your father lives on through the special gift. Best Bill
Exactly Bill
Memories of him and how he held my hands when he had this watch on his wrist now live on with me. And I will pass that to my son Cheers Robin
We are for they were...
In my case, it was the start of my tryst with watches - I still wear my Father's 1964 Omega on a frequent basis. It makes me feel grounded. May you have happy memories.... Mally
Thanks Mally for sharing your story
Like you, I now aspire to wear my dad\'s watch more regularly Cheers Robin

Thank you very much Abel
Your comments made me smile I am so glad I found so many nice friends like you on this community. People who understand how we watch collectors and PuristS feel about our watches and this hobby Cheers Robin
My pleasure Robin! Completely agree with you...
... you have well described why we are here... sharing passion and feelings! All the best my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
Heartwarming watch and story
Happy to see that you're able to enjoy the memories that the watch holds for you - priceless ones at that. A very good reminder that as you say, value is not in the price or complication - it's what the watch means to us and where it takes us to. It's a v...
Sentimental indeed.
Funny how watches reminds us who are dear to us. I myself remember my first rolex an airking model given to me by my mother. I was barely 20 yrs of age. Used it on dates with girls , had fun with my airking and the girls. Good clean fun. Best! Geross
Nice story you have Geross!
Thanks for sharing the story of your first Rolex with us Cheers Robin
Glad you like it
It\'s a simple dial but simple elegance is indeed hard to tire I am wearing it again today Cheers Robin
