diver_dylan Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 DD Basically I don't want to be ostentatious, I just want to get him a mechanical watch in the hope he picks up a passion for watches! That looks to be the best bet so far Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflylow78 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 got my gen sub as a b-day present when i turned 13 - have worn it nearly every day of the past 23 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Mini Sub!!! +1 on this, RWG legend CBR has some wristshots of his little man sporting one and it looks great. I know it's a fantasy watch, and who would give a little kid a Rolex anyway, but I still think it's cool. Reps don't make very good heirlooms, so my only other suggestion would be something sporty, quartz, and not too pricey in the gen version. Maybe a Tag Professional Sports.

qualitime Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 My son has bought his first rep when he was nine years old. He's fourteen now. It's a black Rolex Yachtmaster boy size from Paul ,ETA powered. The watch had a tough life. Swimming, climbing, boating, digging...... Stil going strong and looking fine.
