After 21 years of service with my company I was able to choose my gold watch.

In those days there was quite a good range to choose from.
The watches were presented to all those eligible at a nice venue after a dinner.
I just made it home in time from a trip I'd made to Milan. The flights were all delayed due to weather conditions at Heathrow.

Anyway, my own choice was an Omega Seamaster.
The back and bezel were solid 18k gold and the strap was 18k gold plated with titanium inlay.
The back was also appropriately inscibed.

I still have the watch in the original box. Actually only ever worn it a handful of times.
Just got it checked, serviced and cleaned locally for kings ransom

Even the back is inscribed I still reckon it's worth a packet.
Wish I could sell it sometimes, but just can't bring myself to do it.

Must take a look around and see where I put it.

BTW Steve, my old dad had a Bell & Ross watch
It's in rather poor condition, cracked glass and has no strap. Very old fashioned style with a black dial. Looks quite ordinary but worth around £300 as it stands.
