Here are the 2 watches I got from my father.
The Omega cal 1480 I found at my dads after he passed away. I never knew he had this watch. It was in very bad shape running but date was broke and the time was awful when I found it. I asked my mom about it and she said he got it as a college graduation gift from my great grandpa. With that family history in the watch I sent it off to omega and got it restored. This is by far the most special watch I own and wear on family special occasions. 
The Tag I got from him was his daily wear watch that I would always see him in. It is a very solid watch, he had it on a bracelet but I changed it to the nato. I wear for work my self a day or two through the week for work and I always feel it is a smooth looking watch. 
I love how putting on a watch can bring back all sorts of good memories and family ties all at the same time making new memories. One day the memories and family ties can be passed down to the next generation to continue making new memories and remembering the old past ones.

This Seiko is a hand-me-down . . .
. . . from Dad . . . . . . and if the stars are in alignment Sunday, this one . . . . . . will be going his way. He's the kind of guy who hates being fussed over, so there's a chance he won't accept it, but I'm hoping he will. Happy Father's Day to all th...
Father and daughter
trying to infect the next generation with the GP bug! HAGWE CC ...
It is actually harder than I thought
young girls don't quite have the same fascination with mechanical things as boys do, but I'm sure it will grow over time.
Trying hard, but need to work a bit more on the vintage side
I think will need some vintage diver watch to push them over the edge
Great photo, CC!
With your good example, I am sure your daughter will pick up the love of GP in no time. Regards, Alex
Same shape .....
Both the wrists , and the GP cases This Alarm of yours is very nice indeed ! Have a nice Sunday Toralf! Stefan
What a trio!!!
Think you need to adjust the bracelet on the top one though, as might well slide off over those claws! Thanks for sharing, Andrew
Family pic...
... resemblance is striking, don't you think? ) I am off to a long business trip for two weeks starting tomorrow. HAGWE! Ken ...
Like brothers...
from another mother... Very nice Ken! Safe travels and see you in London, Andrew
... and suddenly I heard this voice...
...c\'mon pal, we need to do a family theme wristscan\'... oh no - that\'s boring... Hurry up! WHAT? Another try? Ahahahaha! Cheers Shorty ...
Come-on...
how about a paw shot or around the collar! Looks like your buddy has the same enthusiasm as my kids when I suggest a wrist shot with them... normally involves a lot of rolling eyes. Cheers Andrew
Not a very nice picture, but I just took it for this week's scan:
My boy with my 1st watch, a hand wound Swiss that dad and mom gave me when I was 7, almost 40 years ago. Look at how the gun works (shooting Mao)! ...
Now that is cool....
The gun moves every second or does it have to be activated? That is the coolest kids watch I have seen... if I had seen that back then I would have got horologically hooked at a younger age! Cheers Andrew
You're right, Andrew - I got horologically hooked because of it. :-)
The gun moves around 2.5 X / second, all the time.
