I hated this $75 seiko solar chronograph that I bought second hand after I broke the bracelet. Since then I have lots of more fancier watch and that watch was no longer giving me satisfaction. I was getting frustrated at it trying to fix it and finally lose it and I felt I don’t want it anymore. I threw it away for peace of mind, now I am feeling a bit regret, anyone threw their watch into the bin?

Dad won an Omega in a competition to write a slogan for Phillips. Watch was the second prize, first prize a house. But they ended up using my dad's slogan anyway, even though it wasn't the "winning" entry.

Dad called bullshit on them, but big company, massive legal team, etc etc etc...Dad ended up throwing the Omega at a wall.
