The Watch I Shouldn’t Have Traded

Years ago, when I was in the Marine Corps, I traded a watch. At the time, it didn’t feel like a big deal. It was just a simple trade. A different watch. A different season. But years later, when I came across that other watch again, I realized something — I hadn’t just traded a watch. I had traded away a piece of a chapter in my life. So I went looking for it. This is the story of the G-Shock DW-6600 I recently bought on eBay — not to replace the old one, but to acknowledge what it meant.
