The Story Behind This Watch

I have actually had this watch for a while now, but for some reason never got around to putting it in my collection. Part of the reason might be that at first I considered it to be not in good enough condition to wear (see the third picture on the right). However, that has changed. Thanks to Matt V., a friend from the PMWF, the watch has been spiffed up with a new crystal, crown and a polish of the case. I was very excited that Matt did this for me, as the watch belonged to my wife’s late uncle, who passed in October of 2004, and I was able to wear the watch in my wedding May 22, 2005. It made Mandy, her father and her grandparents very happy that a part of Mike was with us that day.
