... and many times unplanned catches. I know that so well!
Both the Credor and the Cartier Santos are beautiful timepieces with classic designs worth the title of Keepers.
I personally feel that price, brand or spectacular designs have nothing to do with the consideration of a watch as a Keeper for life, but the feelings, enjoyment, memories and emotions any piece awakes in us.
Enjoy your Keepers so much my friend! Hagwe! Abel
