The battery in my black-dialed Tourneau died mid-trip so I had to switch to my minimalist dress watch. Serendipitous since it has a white dial! Of course I was late and didn’t bother to set the date…

You have ?200 Which 1 or 2 watches would you get in this budget category

Let me introduce you are to “Mayor Wilson”, the newest piece to my collection. The watch (Timex Q 1972 Machine Reissue Gold Bracelet Brown Dial Watch) delivery was attempted on Saturday when we were out at my works family Christmas party. That worked out well as it meant Nicole didn’t see it, and still hasn’t as yet. Guess I will se how long untill she notices. The dome on this piece is high and it looks amazing. The Indices all appear to be floating and the tiger eye just beams. SO with the next couple of rays wearing “The Mayor” I will see how this pairs with some of my outfits and how it feels on wrist.

I was tagged in a post by @Jesse Alonzo as he was given a watch from his mother that was his step fathers who he was very close with. Thank you @Chad Smith for tagging me. As many of you know at this point, I am a sucker for watches, but I'm super obsessed with Heirloom watches. They do NOT have to be expensive to be heirlooms. They just have to have meaning. I am a very fortunate recipient of several heirloom pieces. Whenever I wear 1 I try to think and more importantly tell stories of the person who entrusted the piece to me. I also try to speak of the original owner whether I have met them or not. I have a couple of watches that were my grandfather's (who passed the day after I was born) who left them or gave as gifts to my father or my uncle as an example. Today WOTD - Rolex Date Just champagne Dial with Jubilee bracelet. This watch belonged to my Father in Law. He wasn't just my father in law, he was my best friend, my business partner and the 1 person who could convince me to get into ANY amount of trouble with him (in a good way). He passed away WAY too you and has been gone 23 years. I still miss him everyday. I have been thinking a lot about him lately as we have been making changes in the business and I believe he is still looking out for me and our family from above. So as I am being approached with opportunities it makes me think of him. So this is how I connect with time and remember those who trusted me with an heirloom piece. He stopped wearing this watch long before he passed as he could see the hands on the dial (of which I constantly ribbed him about 😜). But I wear this watch proudly. I also have the watch that we replaced this with as he felt he could see it better. Hope you all have an amazing day! Let's remember those who have gone before us!!
