Not a luxury brand like all the Rolex and Cartier lovelies on here, but these two Concord watches are valuable to me for sentimental reasons even though I don't collect watches and I don't wear watches (guess it gives away that I'm a millenial in that regard).
When my husband and I got married, my mother gifted these 2 watches to us. They weren't super expensive or luxury branded or diamond encrusted, but my mother bought them for herself and my dad with savings from her first paychecks (she worked retail after graduating high school as there was no money for college, she was 4th out of 7 siblings). I think Concord was a bigger brand in Asia back in the day so it was a big purchase for my mother at the time as she had little money of her own.
To be honest, these watches are just kept in a drawer all the time and never get worn, but I do treasure the sentiment. Anyway, I thought I'd share them as a 'blast from the past' and because it's interesting to see super thin watches.
Edit to add: my mother doesn't remember any details about these watches now as the receipts are long gone. But they should be from the late 70s or early 80s..

. And the lighter face... well, my eyes are getting older and it's harder to see the dials with that dark background 
. Sorry I changed my mind and decided on another Lange instead of a F.P. Journe.
PS introduced me to Cartier watches...another reason why PS is not good for my wallet lol.
