Alpinist incoming for my 18-year old. His first nice watch.
We checked out many brands over a couple of weekends. He loved this one the most. Great watch, great choice, he’s psyched. I had a lot of fun with him. :-) ![]() ![]() |

Very nice. Great day out with your son.
When my daughter graduated law school I got her a GS. My husband got his son a Breitling. Is nice you shared your love for watches with your son. That’s a watch that will last him a lifetime. |

Very nice watch and one that will serve your son well. It is nice when our children like the things we do. My oldest has a Rolex, Omega, Cartier and a Tissot. Wears them all in a rotation. The youngest is a G-Shock fan but wore a Rolex to an event and said that they want one when they are older. It is all fun.

Nice going dad! And a belated happy birthday to your son. May he enjoy it for years to come. What’s the size and model # of that one? It’s pretty cool.

Thanks all for the continued comments.
![]() Today he asked about winding the watch. It was fun talking to him about it and showing him the rotor. ![]() Quote:

Great job, brother Cru. He picked a great model. I did the same thing with my son when he turned 18. I bought him a Seiko as well. I told you great minds think alike!
