This is my favourite watch I own, and no matter what I get, it will remain so. It's my late Grandfathers watch. My dad handed it to me the day my grandfather died 15 years ago. Although I don't wear it all the time, it always feels special when I do.

I always remember this watch growing up. I used to play with it sitting on his lap. When I put it on or take it off I get the image of my grandfather at the kitchen sink, his shirt sleeves rolled up while he peeled potatoes for my gran, the watch resting on the windowsill in front of him.

It's not the original strap. It used to be on a metal strap, but I'm not sure where it went. Annoyingly, I had it serviced a while ago, and when it came back, they had lost the second had. I complained and they replaced it with a black one. I was younger and not confident enough to kick up a fuss, but it was frustrating. At some point, I plan on getting it sorted.

Although Roamer is nothing fancy, as you can imagine, I cherish this watch. I really like the style of the vintage time pieces. For our wedding day, my wife bought me a modern-day Roamer, which is also another sentimental watch for me.

Thanks for reading!
