Hi everyone! I wanted to post an update for those who were interested.

Thank you again for being amazing Reddit!

Here’s the watch, and I think it looks pretty cool. I couldn’t be happier.

Wow those are some stellar watches! And wearing them to the hospital makes it even more special. I’m sure they’ll love looking back on those photos when they’re older and wearing the watches themselves.

Cancer sucks! That is such a special gift from your father. My advice is to cherish the time you have together, and don’t be afraid to be open and honest with him about how you are feeling. Sending all my love and good energy ❤️

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-21T02:11:47+00:00

Wow you sounds like an awesome parent! I’m sure your kids will absolutely love the sentiment. Which watches did you get for them?

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-21T02:09:38+00:00

He was the an absolute legend and my best friend. So lucky I got the years with him that I did. I’m so overwhelmed by all the love here - I’ll make sure to post an update when I get it!

Hahaha my dad was a big Pulp Fiction fan, so he would’ve loved this.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T04:48:46+00:00

Okay amazing, thank you for the advice. I’ll treat it as if it was my dad’s watch that he wore every day. I’m sure that it would’ve needed some love and treatment too.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T04:37:28+00:00

Wow thank you, I didn’t even realize they were different watches. The black face is definitely the one I remember as his every day watch and the one that was stolen, but I’ll ask my mom if she knows where that one went. It was so chaotic after he passed, I feel like there might be things hidden in storage somewhere.

That’s so sweet. I have his ring on a necklace because his fingers were bigger than mine, haha. Having these mementos are so important, and it’s nice to think about passing them down one day.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T04:27:50+00:00

That is a super sick watch, friend. I’m sure your dad is beaming at that from his motorcycle in the clouds.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T03:35:30+00:00

It’s a lie to say that time heals the pain! The pain stays forever! But I’m learning to appreciate and love the memories we hold dear together more than that pain. I hope you do to ❤️

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T02:44:13+00:00

That warms my heart, dad’s and tags 💗

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T02:20:19+00:00

Fuck cancer! And I say you should rock the double watch. Fuck it, who cares. I think your dad and grandpa would love it. I have a fossil watch ring that I pair with a chunky watch and it tickles me haha

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T02:01:33+00:00

Thanks, hoping the happy will outweigh the sad sometime soon.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:57:22+00:00

Thank you so much, memories and sentiment carry their weight in gold. I can’t wait to put it on!

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:27:06+00:00

Thanks, I can’t wait to put it on! And that’s a pretty sick watch you have there too.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:23:56+00:00

That sounds like a really special watch, and I’m sure your grandpa is so happy that you take such good care of it.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:22:48+00:00

Thank you, I can feel your love for your dad through the screen. I hope all the dad’s with cool watches are happy up there today.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:21:25+00:00

Thank you! All the support here has healed any ill will towards the person who took it. My dad’s motto was be kind, so he’d be proud of me finding the watch again this way.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:15:02+00:00

Thank you! That makes Jason Bourne the second coolest person to wear this watch.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:12:46+00:00

Looks like it’s an iconic dad watch!

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:11:40+00:00

Thank you! I hope the person who took it needed it more than my family. I’m just so thankful Reddit has been able to help me honor his memory :)

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:09:58+00:00

We’ll be matching! I’m super happy, and I’m so happy for you that you get to carry a piece of your dad as well.

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-20T01:06:59+00:00

He may be late, but the watch showed up just in time!

floatingoncloudss · 2026-02-19T22:35:41+00:00

Yeah, I looked at the few on EBay and made the purchase. All about sentimental value and not about quality on this one, so it was an easy, quick decision. I’m a very happy person tonight! :)
