Seiko SQ

A Texas prosecutor who specializes in human trafficking cases. "This was my grandfather's watch, and the only thing that I specifically asked for when he passed. I've had it a decade." It went to church and it went to work on tractors, and a crystal cracked on the tractors has since been replaced. Now it goes to court to put human traffickers in prison, and to the legislature to help other people do the same. "The watch isn't much that's special, just a vintage Seiko quartz that's 40 years old. The gold tone is wearing thin and I wouldn't trust it in a bath." On the wrist, a Seiko SQ. "I've got flashier, more expensive, more capable watches, but if this one is on my wrist things have gotten serious in a way that matters deeply." Do you wear a watch that was handed down to you? Who did it belong to? If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.
