Like I said, it being a sensitive issue, I didn't want to bring it up with my uncle. Even my mom knew the watch meant a lot to me and urged me to ask my uncle if he didn't mind; I just never felt right doing it. My grandma gave it to him randomly when he came to visit us in Canada. My uncle, seeing how he lives in England, and my grandfather lived in Canada; didn't really recognize the watch as "his dad's watch."

I was in England last year and I saw the watch at my uncle's house and it was just sitting on a table, scuffed up, in far worse condition that I remember it.

Regardless, at the end of the day, we both get to have the watch so it worked out.
