‘The watch has been purchased by my father in 1970s from a marine soldier in the Caribbean. It originally served as a diver’s watch. The marine was unable to pay his bill of $50 in a bar one evening; my father helped him out, settled his bill, and received the watch. My father wore the watch for many years. I’ve received the watch as a 25th birthday present and only wore it briefly. Years later, I left it in a gun cabinet for a short time for fear that something might happen to the expensive watch’
