Meet my Citizen Crystron Solar Cell – not just the first solar-powered analog quartz watch but also a family treasure with one of the most uncomfortable bracelet I've ever experienced. Gifted to me, it belonged to my girlfriend's late dad, a piece of history I'll pass down. Unserviced and more than 40 years old, it's still running (granted, it sat in a drawer for over a decade)! Admiration aside, it's just not something I wear, given its fragility amidst a life with kids and a dog. What's your cherished watch that stays safe but rarely sees the light of day and that you won't let go?
After about 3 years too, I went from 20ish in year 1 to 6 right now, including 1 inherited, 1 custom built, 1 modded gshock and 3 that I rotate. The more I get into this hobby, the more I think a small collection is better.
