Whoa, that's a magnificent story beautifully told.

As someone who missed meeting his biological father only by a few years, as a father and grandfather (who has mechanical watches locked away for the three grandsons whom I hope to see turn twenty-one in between eleven and sixteen years' time), your story reaches me and I thank you for it.

I had no idea that the snorkel was a hummer by the way. I have owned Bulova tuning fork movement watches an still have one or two new old stock Bulova straps: if you'd tell me what the lug width is I'd very happily send you one. :thumbup:
