Re: my newest (oldest?) watch
Very sorry for your loss Greg. I lost my mother on December 14th after a very short battle with lung cancer, so I know what you are going through right now. I have inherited my great great grandfathers mantle clock that was given to him on occasion of his retirement in 1935, and look forward to having a conservative restoration done on it. It is certainly something I will always treasure.

Condolences; what a terrific way to remember your father - and grandfather. Very fitting.
Re: my newest (oldest?) watch
Sincere condolences Greg.
Whilst it is terrible to receive the watch under these circumstances, it is also a wonderful way to remember both your father and grandfather.
When you look down at your wrist you have both your dad and grandad marking the passage of time with you. - A fitting tribute!

Greg, my father passed way in my 20s and has been living in my memory since. He was an awesome mentor and continues to be a great pal. I am sure you will treasure the watch as well as all the lovely memories it brings to you.

Re: my newest (oldest?) watch
Very sorry to hear the news, Greg. The watch is a great keep sake. Hope you are able to get it up to a condition that you're happy with.
Makes me realize how lucky I am that my father is a furniture maker. I'll have plenty of things in the house to help me remember him when the time comes.
