B-day incoming for my son
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. |

Congratulations to him! This makes me happy to see the next generation getting into this hobby. Can't think of a better brand and watch to begin this lifelong journey with.

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.

Thanks all for the nice comments and sharing in the moment.
Today we learned together setting the watch and checking out the compass. Very nice….. and I’m trying my best not to me a total watch nerd about it, letting him take the lead.

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!
