I can't help but think of my dad when I see this watch. My mom ran his through the washer and dryer, destroying it in the process. One of these days I'll buy one and send it to him... which of course will be mine when he kicks the bucket. I know, it's probably wrong for me to think that way, but that's how women think: they purchase stuff for their mom's knowing that someday it'll come back to them, so why can't guys think that way about watches????
