[Discussion] What's the oldest watch you have? (alien.top)

What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

Not super old but my most prized possession. This is from 1984 or 1985. It was my grandpa's. When I was a baby, I'd play with it on his wrist. He left it to me when he died. I was in high school and had to remove some links. Now I'm 35 and can't find the links I removed, so it's getting a bit tight. It obviously makes me think of him every time I look at it. It's a good reminder to be my best because he always saw me in the best light.
