If you like Rolex watches but don’t like the attention, get a Tudor:)

This was given to my great grandfather for his retirement from Nchanga mines, in South Africa. He was an engineer up until 1967.

This was was in my grandmothers possession until her dementia became apparent. We all loved her father, Pat.

This watch has been passed down to me recently, still in a beautiful condition. It has become the watch I wear most. My mother often says he would have gotten such a kick from me still wearing it.

An invaluable watch. Isn’t a fancy rolex or an expensive Patek, but it is our family.
