The Best Watch
By Ed. Filed in Holidays, Life |
When it comes to quality watches, everyone is familiar with the name Seiko. Everyone in my family has worn quality watches for as long as I can remember. My dad especially felt strongly about wearing the best timepieces, and to him that meant Seiko Watches.
When someone in my family turns 18, that is the special occasion for receiving a Seiko watch from my dad as a birthday present. He always said that turning 18 was one of life biggest milestones, and that he wanted to send us out as adults into the world with a quality timepiece on our wrist. Being punctual has always been a value instilled in us, and to this day I make every effort to arrive where I need to be earlier than expected.
As the years went by, we were able to repay my Dad for his gift of a Seiko watch to each of us. When he turned 60 years old, the three of us pitched in and bought him a new Seiko kinetic watch. He was thrilled to have a kinetic watch – he thought that was one of the coolest inventions and for him to own one at that stage of his life was especially touching. He entered retirement in style and wore that watch every day until he passed away a few years ago. I have that watch tucked away for special occasions. I wear it on my birthday, on my dad’s birthday, on Father’s Day and on Veteran’s Day. That is how I pay tribute to the memory of my Dad.
Next year my brother turns 50 and I plan to buy him a Seiko watch – I don’t want to wait until he turns 60. I thought of him today when I came across the BlueDial.com web site and saw the selection of Seiko watches that they carry. The site offers a deep discount on the price of the watches and they offer free shipping, so it is the smart way to buy a watch for someone who you love.
