... with my apologies for my delay in posting it.


No easy to choose among so many wonderful entries and the stories behind them.

I award Very Special Mentions to:
DeBalzac wonderful Minerva Pitagore bought from a good friend twenty years ago:





Captain Scarlet and his classy Patek in his wrist when married his Keeper for Life






Nicolas and his fantastic GMT 6542 he loves so much and with good reasons why!






Xiu laba and his faithful Orient Saturation Diver both owner and watch survivors of two crashes and buddies in many dives.





Jporos and his MIH celebrating 20 years of service and his promotion to full professor.




Now third Place goes to:

Watchonthewrist for his Chritian VD Klaauw Modial celebrating his daughter birth and having the rotor engraved with her name and birth date.




Second place for Penfriend for his just arrived MB Villetet Grand Chrono Grand Feu Blue enamel dial which surely will became a keeper for life.








And the First Place goes to ...

Elliot and his wonderful Martin Brown Selene gifted by the watchmaker himself!








Big congrats to all special mentions and winners and thank you so much for sharing your superb Keepers for Life to all participants!
It has been a big pleasure to be your host!
Have a great and safe week ahead my dear friends!

Best cordial regards 
Abel
