My oldest trashed an automatic at work, I don't think its his fault, yah right. So I took it back to keep and repair and gave him this on a Watchadoo. I don't think this one will comeback damaged:D

I am trying to get both of mine into it, I don't ever want to see them using a cell phone to tell time! My youngest has a mil style Timex that he wears now and again (he's 9), and my oldest has his own watch box :D His favorites are a Citizen RR Approved (he's a rail buff) and a yellow "Ray" diver he stole from me last summer. I have his first auto waiting in the wings, an Orient I picked up for 40 bucks on the 'bay. Cheers, Griff

I was always taught that you really value what you work for.

I gave both my sons watches on their 16th birthdays... my oldest got this Tag Heuer Sel (but with a charcoal dial): and my youngest got this Tissot PRS516:  They both only have the one watch each - gonna have to provide them some fatherly guidance on the advantages of owning a 'few' spares (:shock::shock:)..

My son and daughter, both in their early 30's now, have come to expect a watch from me on significant holidays. Both have collector watch boxes now and I suspect they are only indulging my addiction in a very codependant way.

My oldest daughter, 17, could care less what time it is - but since she is always running late for things, she should prob get used to wearing a watch. My youngest daughter, 16, loves pink as well - and believe it or not, she has had two Invictas, one of which was pink MOP dial on a pink strap. Right now she has a Michelle chrono with blue dial on a black strap, but she keeps hinting about another pink one.... that's my girl! hearteyes.gif O.A.

The things that one is exposed to along the path of life makes an impact even if ever so slightly. There is no joy greater than to pass on to ones children the appreciation and love for something that one values. Have a good night. Sean I hope your son enjoys the watch, I am sure it will not be the last.

When I bought my Submariner, I knew Brandon (little guy on left) would be getting it one day. . . My dad's got a nice collection of watches that I know he intends to hand down one day. Marc

Am sure he will love it Marc... my dad had some nice vintage Hamiltons (drove by the factory in Lancaster, PA many times growing up) - which I would have loved to have, but my mother sold them off before I could grab em. She said, "I didnt know you liked watches"... IW wrote: When I bought my Submariner, I knew Brandon (little guy on left) would be getting it one day. . .

Well for me, it was an old Raymond Weil watch I bought back in 1980 from an AD here in Orlando... still have the watch, stored away, but no pic. It looked alot like the Piaget Polo: very thin and narrow. Course my 'disease' didn't really start to progress til couple of years ago (mid-life crisis??)...:shock::shock: IW wrote: Boy, does that STINK!!! Well, they know I love watches.
