My biggest fear is to fall into the water or something like that with the PP on! Had the same worry when I was carrying a Vertu phone! @ FYIGuy Fantastic aren't they! I do wish mine had been handed down and I'm hoping that my daughter will think the same some day.. Agreed on the maintenance on a simple movement watch, it is horrific and as noted could buy another very nice watch for the same price.. :-( @Lex You are absolutely right, so I keep an Omega Quartz Seamaster Aqua Terra for the weekends and traveling..

I totally cherish my Patek Philippe Pocket Watch that was my Great Grandfather's even more than my Longines, which is not a bad timepiece either that I picked up and used to wear before my SPOT watch. :) Your daughter will treasure it too and it looks like you started a tradition. The scheduled 3-5 yr maintenance can be quite expensive depending the intricacy of the watch. One watch shop quoted me a service cost as much as I payed for my Longines.:( Watch collecting is still one of the best investments one can make and the value of the watch will always go up unlike the stock market or real estate. Enjoy it! Drew,
