Tudor BB Blue
It’s been half a decade since I posted here. In half that decade, I basically sold or gave away most of my pieces because of bad memories.
Some pieces leave a haunting memory to us. The first time we see it at the AD, we hesitate (due to life’s many challenges), but later, when things get better, we ask ourselves how much we truly want it.
My collection had a major void, when I traded up my Kermit. I loved the Kermit and brought it for so many adventures diving (>30 dives with it). The only gripe I had was the dial which dimples inwards at the central position where the hands are connected - all dials are the same; I went to the Rolex service centre and they allowed me to choose a new dial and all 3 dials were the same. They were professional.
Watches are a trinket of memories. One connects them to a life event or person, such as a birthday, a death, a graduation, past marriage etc. I kept a few pieces still, because they bring me joy.
This Tudor was given to me on my birthday by my loved one, and to commemorate my acceptance into medicine school. She told me, wear it and ding it all I want, it is meant to be a tool, not a piece of jewellery.
I’ve worn it hard as she recommended - be it bathing the dogs, gardening with heavy equipment, and swimming for 3h (I am a long distance swimmer).
I love this piece because it is what it is supposed to be. Moderately costly (to me) of good function. Not a Rolex but close.
My next piece will be the Deepsea James Cameron (if they even have it here first hand but I am trying).
