Well Guys, I was browsing some old pictures and I found something that gave me some kind of "I Did Something Wrong" feeling.

I had a Beautiful Seiko 150M Diver 6309-7040. It was my FIRST Automatic and Divers watch. It was given to me by my uncle for getting good grades that year

When I got it, it was 25 years old, never been serviced.I sent it to the Seiko Service Division of Puerto Rico. $60USD for a overhaul and gasket replacement.After that, the rubber strap broke, $30USD more for an Original Seiko Rubber strap.
About 2 years, my uncle approaches me with a damn trade, the Seiko(Which I got fixed with my money) for an iPod Video. I was a 12 yr old boy! I said yes!!! It was a School day, so He agreed to let me wear it until 2pm (when the school day ended) He has a Gold Rado Diastar (Yeah JJ, People with Gold Rados are bad

) So at 2pm I go to his classroom (he's my uncle and past Math teacher) take the watch of and give it to him. And leave with the iPod.
Weeks later, I go to him asking him what do I have to do to get the watch back. At the time I had a Swiss Replica Submariner (yeah I know Fakes are bad, I was 12!!) and he though it was real, and I told him if he would trade that thing for the Seiko, he said "I'll just lend you the watch. If u want to use it, just call me and tell me to take it to school so you can wear it"
Two Years since that, and I'm still waiting for him to lend it. People with Gold Rados have a bad nature!

Below are pics of me Happily wearing the Seiko and a Stock Picture.

My Family and me (I was wearing the Sub, I'm sorry)

Moral of the story: Don't deal with people who wear GOLD RADOs!!

Nah......don't worry about it, Gaby......you now have a beautiful DJ and you're only 15.

We all do silly things.

Oh, Thanks! I thought no one here wore a fake watch...

don't worry Gaby, enjoy what you had/have and move on. Maybe you can think of buying a new one and pass it on when you get older. It is also a wonderful feeling when you are on the giving end.

Don't feel bad about wearing a fake when you were younger, at least you have came around and realizing what is right and wrong.

I bet no one felt bad wear a fake hair piece (me looks at you know who.... And me runs away.....) :-)

You'll be hard pressed to get them to admit it. Probably more than you realize at one time or another.
