The Forum members with children will probably understand that they take great interest in what you, their parent does and what things you like. You may think they aren't listening, but they are.

My son, now three and a half has taken an interest in my passion, watches. Believe it or not, around the age of two, he asked me what a watch was. It was explained to him what a watch does and also I showed him my collection. He knows all of the models I have and the Submariner and GMT Master II are his favourite.

We decided to have a little fun today and took pictures of our watches. Enjoy.

CT3113 · 28 March 2015, 02:55 PM

^ Yup and that 15 years will be here in the blink of an eye!

Trust me.

hojuturtle · 28 March 2015, 08:03 PM

BLNR is just amazing.
But I'm gonna follow your advice
by getting 116713 instead :)

travisb · 28 March 2015, 08:49 PM

Very cool Eric!
My boys (11 and 14) know my passion well and have interest as well. It's funny when we walk through a mall or airport and one of them will say "hey dad, did you see that guy had on a Daytona?" They even spot other brands like AP, Panerai etc.
As for my 4 yr old daughter, she's still learning...:)

kilyung · 28 March 2015, 08:49 PM

Very cool. It's even more fun when he develops his own taste in watches. My son is interested in Pateks.

My boy is interested in the 6 string, per my avatar.

WatchinMD · 28 March 2015, 09:57 PM

Enjoy the early years; they grow up fast.

mjclark32 · 28 March 2015, 09:58 PM

That's great!
My 11 year old son has always had a huge interest in my 16610LV Sub.
However ever since I got the SD4000 he seems to be loving it more. It is nice that they share our interests. We were in an airport Thursday and he comes running back to tell me "Dad, they have watches in the Duty Free Store".
Very cool

AK797 · 29 March 2015, 12:00 AM

Great shot, much fun!

Afghanvet · 29 March 2015, 12:04 AM

Yep, cool, but dangerous... you're perpetuating the 'disease.' My son is dead-set on a hulk now...

No doubt. It seems like we just had babies and then my son turns 13 last week and my daughter is leaving for SpaceCamp in Alabama with her 5th grade class on Monday. Enjoy those years.

We cannot have any more kids but are thinking about adopting. People think we are nuts. But to most people the guy that buys $10,000+ watches is already crazy.

Thanks Travis. Can't wait till he gets older.

Last year when we went shopping for my birthday present, my son asked the AD if they had the GMT for his daddy. Everyone at the AD was surprised.

CHRONOLEX · 29 March 2015, 01:50 AM

Anything to get kids today to wear a watch
