My 8 years old son's Seiko (growing dangerously) collection.

Dear All,

 

I came across this Seiko on eBay for sale by WatchHub, 27$ for the watch and 30 for shipping (in total 44). It looked really nice with that day-date feature.

So, I said to myself, after having a Flik Flak, my son might aswell get a 50$ automatic now.  :brow:

The wrist shot: it's me that pressed the button.

The second Seiko

 

Ok, so far everything was cool…only 57$/44 have been spent.

But, of course, he is going to grow and the 32 mm will be to small one day.

So I had to find another one right away, just in case he wakes up and gain 5 years during the night

It's a 38 mm that I got at 86 / 114$. Starts to be serious money now. :blink:

The wrist shot.

 

For sure, he is not going to wear it soon. :whistling:

The third Seiko.

 

Ok, I must be honest. 

The black monster is for me now. Of course my son will get it whenever he want it, after the 38mm one.

I finally decided to buy this monster after seing Pug's pictures, specially with both bands (Rubber and Steel).

 

Let's see the wrist shot first.

I will not post a lot of pics of the Black Monster.  There are some very nice ones out here as you know.  ;)

Voilà, I wanted to share this with you, that's it.

 

I guess I'll come back one of these days with my 11 years old daughter's gen Baume et Mercier Linea steel 21 mm that I catched on eBay for 200 only.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers

Nicely done. Are you all left-handed?

Great you noticed Pug.

No, none of us but my wife. She wears her watches on the left hand.

My kids do like the father, that's it.

And the father ?

When I was say 11 or 12, I wanted to do things like no one else. So I started to wear watches on the rigth wrist.

Are you lefty ?

A family hobbie. I think this is great. You have made a real connection to your son that will live for a long time. When he is older, he will have these memories of his Dad and the special time they had together.

Thats great, my sons too have had several watches from me, I've allways liked Seiko they're the best in their price range IMO, built like a tank too so good for a young boy, I like the military style one, tell him it's what soldiers wear and he'll love it even more :)

Thanks Usil and Richard.

I will tell him about soldiers but he might not believe me as he will check his PC war games ;-)

My Daughter loves to select which watch I will wear on any given day and she also likes to have a few winds of my manuals but at 5 years old I will wait a while before getting her really interested in watches :)

It used to be a practicality thing I think because the bracelet or strap hurt the hand when writing. But I think that is becoming a lot less of an issue these days. It is almost to the point where I've forgotten how to write cursively. I am back to second grade with block letters.
