B-day incoming for my son

[Cru Jones]

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 gift for your son. Looks great on his wrist. Next he's going ask for a Rolex

[winst]

Great choice.

Congrats to your son for the nice watch and the nicer dad!!

Great bonding over watch collection!!

[Latrodectus]

That is a wonderful birthday gift! Your son will be very happy!

Nice.

Congrats to your son, a great start to the hobby.

That's a really cool thing for y'all to share. Congrats to you both! And also congrats on having a son with great watch taste! Ha.

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.

I’m SO happy for him my friend, great choice and in the end I think a wise one.

Thanks for taking me along on the journey.

Great work Dad!!!

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.

[Cru Jones]

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.

Super cool, fantastic watch and what a great way for a watch-journey (addiction) to start

[BNA/LION]

Cool! HBD and Congratulations!

[Jackie Daytona]

Congrats to him. Awesome experience to be able to share with you and your son. I’m sure he will always treasure it. Great watch as well of course.

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.

Congrats Cru! Nice to see your son inherited your passion for mechanical watches!

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!
