I was a young single guy and my pay was tax free.

And I had just come from Iraq, actually.

And I started thinking, you know, I really wish I'd had a better watch than something that I could kind of pass down and would be a little bit of an heirloom to my kids.

So I took my, uh, my pay from that deployment, uh, while we were at sea and we pulled into port, we pulled into Dubai and I went to a mall and, uh, you know, and I, I bought this watch.

It's a nice watch.

It's a Rolex Explorer two.

Uh, and I've worn this watch on my wrist every day for 20 years.

You know, to me, it's less about the watch.

It's just about having something that you carry with you every day and you imbue it with value.

And it's something that can be passed down.

So I wore this watch in Afghanistan.

I work as a journalist.

I've covered the wars in Syria and Ukraine.

This watch was on my wrist then.

It was on my wrist the day my children were born.

It was on my wrist the day that I met my beautiful wife, Lee, and the day we got married.

And in the future, I'll probably pass this watch down to my son and then buy myself another watch.

But I think it's about creating meaning in some of the things that we have and creating traditions.

And that's something...

I think anyone should know how to do, but a man should know how to do certainly.
