This Omega belonged to my grandfather.

I had it restored to working condition several years ago, and while I don't often wear it I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to rescue it.

Does anyone regret not having a watch from your father or grandfather?

No because I have them :)

That’s why I really count on keeping mine so one day I can give them to my son(hopefully by that time he will be into horology!!) I did the opposite. Because my dad could not afford a nice watch in the past I actually bought one for him and he is very pro... 

LOL!!! [nt]

I will say I'm often slightly envious of those who do have such watches.

But I would believe that for as many of us that would appreciate such a thing there are 100x the number of people that place no value on such a thing.

Of course!

No, because I ‘have’ one from my late father. 😉

But I recently gave it to my mother and she is wearing it with love now so it is giving me even more joy than before. ...
