UPS Years of Service Watches

[Climber211]

At what years of service did UPS give out watches. I'm thinking:

25 years (one diamond)
35 years (3 diamonds).

Did they give out a 20 year watch also?

I vaguely remember they stopped the years of service catalog around 2007 ish?

WAIT THEY USED TO GIVE OUT WATCHES?????

Does anyone have a picture of what they look like??

Trouble was, being an UPS watch, the darn thing ran fast. After 8 hours it would be 2 hours ahead! It was almost like the watch was desperately attempting to speed you up!

They never been out of the box. Thought I'd hand them down to the grankiddos. Showed them to one of the boys the last time they were at the house, he's 10, he could care less. Grandpa out of touch look went deep.

They gave the first one at five years safe driving. Now you get a stress headache and a reminder of your bad decisions.

This is (was) the 5 YOS watch back in the day.
A friend with a jeweler on his route had it appraised. It was $200 thirty years ago.

Was it safe driving? Youre probably right, I said years of service, but then everyone would have one.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen one. I don’t have one myself now. They’re pretty cheaply made but what they stand for is the key.

I believe it was safe driving.

WTF. I'd've been all over a watch at 10.
