My 16 year old son asked me for a watch
Here's his first step into vintage watches: my old Seiko diver on Nato

Great choice for him! A great way for your son to learn how to "look after" a nice watch - hopefully one he will have for a long time

Gorgeous Seiko!
How large is that model? Is it the SKX007 or the 009?

Very good of you!
I like this idea, and I've got a very similar seiko that I picked up a couple years ago. I may just go ahead and earmark it for the same purpose down the line. Great post!

Seiko makes a great starter watch for a young person! They are tough, very dependable and look rather smart. Congrats on starting your son a journey that at times will drive him crazy! Hahahahaha. No no no just kidding. Right on Dad. You da man!
Aloha from Kauai. Tom |

Whatever you do don't give a really expensive watch.
I lost my important watch in hs. I wish I had received it when I was a bit older.

i hope this gift will teach him to treat these beauties with respect, as for the expensive ones... he can buy them himself when he gets older or he can wait till daddy dies
