That is my hope as well. My kid is on his second watch...after a spring bar failure on the first. I hope that these "entry level" pieces keep his interest...the most recent incoming:

I had a very similar idea for when I had a son. He arrived in April so I initially bought him a second hand 16710 from 2002 :





2 months after his birth got lucky with a new Sea-Dweller 126600 so this is in his name for his future.

Hmm. The SeaDweller looks a bit top heavy.

I showed this thread to my 4 month pregnant wife. She rolled her eyes, but not as hard as I expected. That means there's hope!
