Things are better with a story
My late father's Tag Heuer
It might be a little beat up, but it has meaning
My father was an expat, living in Mexico in his later years. Spent all his life sailing or boating as much as he could, and always had his Tag and a few other nice watches.
He had dementia towards the end, and got married to a woman down there while going through his dementia. Red flags and all that.
She sold everything of his that had any value, including his watch collection.
While my brother and I were there the last time we saw Dad before he passed (before the new wife began denying us access to the house) my brother did a bit of snooping and found my father's old Tag. It was not working which was probably why she couldn't sell it.
Anyways - he nicked it.
He got it fixed up and working and gifted it to me last month. The two-tone matching link band is still in need of a skilled hand to fix (I live in rural Canada, so no watch repair within a one or two hour drive).
I'm believing this is a 1500, early 90s based on the model number, and I'm actually really digging the scuffed up look of the dial.
Anyways, that's all for storytime
Cheers
