Hanging Up His Wings
When I was growing up, my dad wasn’t around all too often. It wasn’t that he was an absentee dad or neglected his family, but when you work for a commercial airline, your schedule is largely out of your hands. After 40 years of flying planes, last year my dad announced that he would be retiring from the industry.
Of course, this came as quite a surprise to all of us since he has such a passion for flying. As you can imagine, my mom is ecstatic about the prospect of spending more time with him-especially because they have thousands of miles saved up and plan to do some serious travelling. The retirement party is this weekend and I was able to find the perfect gift online: a personalized men’s watch with an assortment of pilot-themed decorations underneath the watch glass.
Replacing Watch Crystal
It doesn’t matter how accurate your watch is or how ornately the face is designed if you can’t see through the crystal. Watch crystals have a propensity to become nicked, dinged and scratched specially with harsh wear. If the state of your watch crystal has you contemplating an investment in a new timepiece, you should be aware that you have other options.
Replacement watch crystals are relatively cheap and can be installed in just a few minutes. Before purchasing glass for your watch, take note of the material your current glass is made of, the diameter of the face, and if it is domed or not. For those who are apprehensive about changing the crystal themselves, you local jeweler can usually perform the repair the same day.
