<-- grew up on a skate board (well many kinds of boards actually) and at 37 I still skate.

The most "skate" rep I own IMO is the PVD Sinn U1.

Besides being super cool looking,reliable and tough, it has the bonus of being highly accurate and reasonably priced.

For a teen I would buy a PVD U1 without doubt over the usual suspects. A teen just wouldn't get them - no contest.

I have checked this one out, and i have to say that i am loving it! It's a really cool watch, and it's not common i Norway. As for the Seiko i showed it to him, and he didnt like it. It was too geeky according to him, and he's the on who'll be wearing it

I'll never forget the photo Pugwash posted of a fogged up Seiko. I think that was a good reminder that even genuine does not guarantee perfection

After my cousin gave me crap about having a rep, I looked at his Seiko diver watch and it was fogged up. I laughed at him and said I bet my "fake" watch is more waterproof than your genuine one (PO with sealed He valve and greased gaskets).

He as an [censored] that will take every opportunity to put anyone down.

It just makes the anticipation all the more fun, and the final project more meaningful

I would say that people like that irritate me (they certainly used to) but now I just feel sorry for them, for whatever inadequacy they have which they're trying to compensate for. I don't think they'll ever realize that by putting others down, they don't make themselves look big, they just show themselves up as being tools It's like the guy I ran into the other night who kept asking "How much?" while we were discussing watches, it just shows a lack of class...

Yep, and another thing is it's very easily waterproofable, come with very good authentic style thick green gaskets (paid and verified to 3atm - and complimented by WS). Oh, that's the other thing, The gen is a German built watch. They're gaining popularity here where i live (Australia) but can mostly fly under the radar as well as be recognised WIS's.

As some people here know, I'm a HUGE Seiko fan but I would suggest a G-shock to 15yo before a Seiko. I have 6 nieces an nephews of varying ages - and i gave them all g-shocks last year for birthdays and Xmas - they love them. Glued to their wrists. G-shocks are very cool and are 'in'. Much like the clothing brand "Bape" which I guarantee your son wears or covets if he skates... G-hocks cannot be killed either.

But seeing as you are after a rep, I second my own suggestion for a PVD U1 ( hehe). The gen is worth about 3.5G's...

But if you do go the Seiko, I just picked the attached one up, excellent watch, unusual and "monster-y" but modern. The model number is in the file name.
