Pop gave me his old Seiko from 1982 yesterday. His father gave it to him when he turned 18. It's beat to hell and still keeps perfect time. He told me a man's got to wear his heritage and his story where people can see it. Now I gotta earn the right to pass it to my son someday. That's the weight we carry as men.
That's incredible, man. The fact that it goes back three generations makes it so much more than just a watch. Those Seikos are tanks too, so your kid might be wearing it someday. Does it still keep good time?
That's incredible man. A watch that spans three generations is more than just an accessory, that's family history on your wrist. Are you planning to pass it to your son eventually?
That's beautiful. I'm planning to do something similar with my kids down the road. Right now they just want whatever has a screen on it lol. How are you planning to care for it?
A 1982 Seiko is a beautiful piece. Those things last forever if you take care of them. Make sure you get it serviced properly so it stays running for the next generation.
This hit me right in the feels. My dad has his old watch too and I keep thinking about what I'll pass down to my kids that actually means something.

This hit me right in the feels. My dad passed his old Bulova to me a few years back and I wear it almost every day thinking about him. Treasure that thing.
