That’s a lovely watch and a lovely way to remember him.

Nice connection, its always a great feeling to bring something special out for the occasion.
Nice one Montello.
I will be wearing one of these two on Christmas Day - Dad's watches.

Think I will wear this one
Thanks, he was a lovely man with great values, this watch (and an 80s Seamaster) are the only things I have of his.
I only wear this watch over Christmas, perhaps I should give it more use.
It was the watch that brought me to this forum looking for advice on service and renovation and it was brought back to this condition by the excellent work of Paul Walker on this forum.
It’s in my will to go to my nephew.
I might not wear a watch, it’s not like I have to be any where on time or we will have to prepare for visitors in tier 4
It highly unlikely I will get dressed to be honest ;-)
For me it gas to be this AP as its my gift from the wife for Christmas. Its been in my safe for a few months awaiting Christmas.

I don't want to be the Grinch here, but wouldn't the Christmas thread be better posted on 25th December?
No scratches as i checked after i took the image. Likely a but of dust from my polishing cloth. Still new.
if the postie gets a shift on it'll be a beautiful gold omega seamaster from 1970 but otherwise this loony will probably be on wrist

That's a very fine watch to wear on the 25th, OP. When my father passed away a number of years back my brother had his watch, a Garrard that was given to him for his length of service working for Ford, and I have dad's St. Christopher and chain as that's what I remember him wearing more than any other jewellery.
I don't really know what I'll be wearing on Xmas day. If my OceanX turns up tomorrow as it's scheduled to then probably that, if not I may just not bother with a watch at all.
I’ll dig out one of my vintage Omegas for Christmas Day, it’ll be a full day without DIY work so the Casio F91 gets a rest!
It'll be nice to get smartened up for a day so a decent watch is a must. I seem to have spent the last 16 weeks wearing scruffy old clothes/ overalls.
Will be this one for me...
Always feels like a bit of an event wearing it.
I’ll be wearing the the Tudor Blackbay I gave my friend while he was battling cancer. I bought it on our last holiday together in Nice and gifted it to him, I also had it engraved with something appropriate

I think that's probably my favourite watch on the forum c_j

This has become my Christmas Day watch over the last 5 or so years, though it comes off when I start cooking and goes back on to eat!
Definitely a gold watch day for me too, so it's time to take out the Radiomir:
During the long strange day's of 2020 I've foolishly added another 5 watches to my collection, now I'll freely admit that I tend towards wearing a watch on holidays, weekends and general celebrations, and as we've had no holidays and nothing to celebrate, I'll be sticking with the programme, bare wrist for me.

Wearing this Precista PRS-82 with the low beat 2783 movement... Me like 😁
Me too. I mentioned to the AD a watch I bought from them was squeaking from the lugs when it was new but a couple of hot showers and it went. They were shocked I wore any watch in the shower and double shocked when I said I wear one in bed too.
The only time I don't wear a watch is when I'm weighing myself!
I think the idea of wearing a watch in memory of a loved one is great.
I tend to do the same with my Grandfathers Longines when going to formal but boozy dinners. He was a bit of a bon viveur and would love the idea he was coming with me. Sadly no such opportunities this year.
This one for me, decided it was going on this morning and I'm wearing it till Monday. Doesn't get enough wear time and I fall in love with it everytime it's on my wrist.
Merry Xmas everyone.
