I took off my watch near my dad one day and it had a display case back and he thought it was just incredible to see. He reminisced about messing around with watches in the '60s and how he thought it was the coolest thing in the world to watch the movement run.

My dad was pretty hard on stuff like watches, so I didn't want to get him anything crazy, but I just got him a Seiko 5 a couple days later because I thought he'd get a kick out of it. He did. He was pumped.

I lost my dad a few years ago. My mom gave me a bunch of his stuff. The watch was among his effects I was given. I'm not much for sentimentality about random stuff, but that $30 watch will be with me until the end.
