What is your most prized possession?

I just want to say that I really enjoyed reading the stories from the past and appreciate everyone sharing them.

@66Mustang. Photos of my Dads watches.



The stainless steel one is the German soldiers watch.
I have only worn his gold one once. In the waistcoat I wore. That was on my wedding day. 
If your wondering about the gold strap? It is a watch fob. If you remember the small pocket in jeans, or waistcoat, the watch fits in the pockef, the strap hangs outside and is used to pull the watch out.

Both watches still work and keep good time. The gold one was serviced by my Mum before she gave it to me to make sure it was in good working order. That is the only time I know of. Inside the back cover there are several Pawn broker scratches. Mum told me dad entrusted the watch to his brother for safe keeping while he was at war. His brother then pawned it for cash, more than once. Mum found out and took it from him.
It's seems sad, but there were hard times.
It does add to its history though.
I have no idea about the Soldier watch, as I call it. But it did servive the war.
Thats German engineering for you ?
