Donerix 2.0 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 My son London has just turned 9 and he has been checking my watches more and more lately. So I thought it was time for his first watch. Of course it had to have some vintage blood. Here is the little bugger with his best friend Bo: I found this piece for him: ZRC Nautilus from the early 70s, waterproof to 300m/990ft: Great patina on the dial markers and bezel: Solid stainless steel construction: And thanks to the stretch bracelet I don't have to get another watch for a few years:) PS: Used to be my mom's dive watch. Quite a rare bird actually... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeKa Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yepp fathers and sons... Myfather gave me the vintage BMW when I had my license fresh as this one had the best craftmenship of metal around me - a car you can buy, a son not. When marrying I asked for this car to be my wedding car as in early summer even in Germany you can hope for the open cabrio roof. Two years later he sold it without even asking me if I would like to buy it... Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to both of you Thanks Z. I hope he will follow in his grandma's footsteps: diving license, pilot license, truck driver license and all while she raised me alone and built up a successful business.... Yepp fathers and sons...

Sometimes we didn't come home for hours. He had a bunch of nice Beemers including the last 3.0 CSI that ever rolled out of the factory in '75 (my dad built their factory's ventilation system) and which was stolen outside a restaurant in Munich two weeks later.... A good man, may he RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Amazing gift and a wonderful family heritage in a making. When he'll grow up this will probably be his favorite watch. Being it your Mom's watch makes it that much more special. I still own the watch my father gave me when I was a kid It's simple quartz watch, but it still runs perfectly and is by far my favorite watch or any object I own, for that matter.
