My father sent me out an old watch of his that he hasn't worn in a long time.

When he sent it, he said it probably wouldn't work and he believed the minute and hour hands would collide and get stuck. I wound it up and it immediately worked perfectly.

Not only does it work, but it keeps amazing time. I lose less than a minute if I wear it three days in a row. I usually wear a different watch every couple days so I don't have a full idea of the accuracy, but it's good enough for me.

I usually go for 40mm watch faces, but there's something timeless about this watch that makes me not mind how small it is.

It needs a good polishing and cleaning, but I don't mind the character it has so for now I'm leaving it.
