    Christian, I'm 62 years old and lost my parents and grandparents long ago. I miss them. Thank you for sharing your grandfather with us. My new life goal life is to be like Tito when I grow up.

    Your Grandfather is pure class and I smiled through this entire short film. It's a wonderful reminder to record the patriarchs / matriarchs of our families. I'm thankful to have a 2 minute clip of my Grandma making white gravy and cracking wise when she was 93. She departed 3 years later, still sharp and fiery. My son will never meet her, but I'm glad he can know her a bit through such a simple and priceless recording.

    Enjoy all of these moments. Once someone is gone the memories become more valuable than money or anything tangible on this planet. You have to wait the rest of your life and hope for the best when you cross over to get a chance to have these moments again.

    Best video I’ve seen from you guys. It reminds me of my dad. He passed away when he was 78 and this video just made me smile…
    what I would do for another five more years to see him be 83… you’re a lucky guy.

    I liked this. Good job - you put a genuine and heartfelt smile on my face reminding me of my grandfather. UA-cam and the internet at large needs more of this - immortalize your loved ones and the people you care about in any way you can. Share a real moment with them and savor the time. Nicely done team 🤝

    Beautiful Video. Brings tears in my eyes. After a few decades when you watch this video you will realise no treasure in the world is greater and precious than this video. You are lucky to have a Grandfather like him. So much wisdom and class. That's a man of honour.

    I’ve loved watches since I got my grandfather’s 1950 Rolex on his passing. My nanna gave it to him. But I love people more and their stories hence my career as a journalist and documentary maker.
    This film on your Pop (granddad) was marvellous. It touched me greatly and brought back so many good memories of my Pop.
    Your pop is such great character. Thank you for sharing. Ted McDonnell

    Your grandfather reminds me of an old America I never even experienced. Some things are better now but I can’t help but shake the feeling that we’re living in a shell company rather than a country. He is an icon of the region accent, the local man, attached to family and community. I can only hope to be a patriarch of a family like him one day, with family choosing to stay near.
    Cheers

    Christian, your grandfather reminds me so much of mine, half English and half Sicilian. I lost mine young, you’re lucky to still have yours in your life. I grew up in Roselle Park, NJ. I love how your accent gets thicker when you’re talking with family, so does mine 😂 I’ve been watching your content since around 2017 and I’ve learned a lot about watches over the years from your videos. Thanks for the great content and the memories 👍🏻

    I gotta say thank you for this guys. All of my biological grandparents lived in Venezuela so I never really got to meet them until I was older, but regardless, two Italian couples at two separate moments of my life helped raise me while my parents worked. And they were just like your grandfather, same mannerisms, same crude yet honest sincerity, never gave it to you funny but also knew to deliver everything with some humor, providing the opportunity to give a little jab back and from there you would spar with words. Both sets of adopted grandparents are now long gone, but it was so incredibly nice to have that feeling back, allowing me to recall on memories I haven't been reminded of in a while, thank you again guys.

    Great video…it made me feel sad. I never knew by dad after I was 8 years old, nor had grandparents.
    They are all long dead now.
    I wish I had.
    I’m getting older.
    I love my watches but time goes so quickly.
    Perhaps someday someone else will wear my.
    If they do, I hope they enjoy them as much as I have.
