Free watch, great story, sad kid. What more can you ask for. The story behind the watch is often greater than its inherent value.
Thats why I still have an old birks quartz watch around. its from my old girlfriend back in langara days. i met her after purposely taking a women's study course (to meet women of course) and chucking a eraser at the back of her head. Then profusely apologizing and taking her out for a coffee as compensation. I always thought i'd marry that girl but she turned out to be a total whore (not complaining) but i was too young and naive
