Quarantine multiple incoming for the family and I plus 13k post.
So I’ve been trying to find the right watch for my kids to get them interested in my favorite hobby. I decided on the Tudor Black Bay 58 and my daughter (19) loved the blue dial and my son (17) loved the black dial. I was able to get 2 blue (1 for me) and a black 1 through my AD and a friends Ad. Then while browsing my regular resellers, I stumbled upon
 a beautiful 16618 and a few weeks later a 16750. While picking up the BB58s I asked about a 116610LV and was told it would be months. About a week before the new Rolex line was released my AD called and got me the green sub. I am so thankful and fortunate to be able to make these additions. Thank you all for your continued enabling and making me feel less crazy for my watch addiction.

That is so cool!!! My kids are adults now and I like to tease them about the coming fight over my collection when I'm gone. Hopefully they can wait awhile...

Great pics! How are the kids liking the watches so far? If they end up picking up this hobby that's a good segway / life lesson of:
If you like these watches -- you better work hard because you're going to need lots of $$ with this disease! Haha! |

The kids are loving the watches. I had to explain to my son its a tool watch meant to be worn. He was just going to wear it for special occasions.

That's great! Look forward to doing similar when my kids are old enough. Right now I got them on some digital Casio watches.
The watch really suits you guys. Your son pulls off the rope bracelet and BB58 well. I wish I knew about watches at that age. |
