Me and the little guy love blue!

So my little guy who is almost nine is always wondering what watch I am wearing. TRF bug has him admiring timepieces all the time....so the other day he says he wants a blue watch like dads smurf. So I bought him this blue swatch for kids and loves it!

Awesome stuff! My boys are into watches because of me as well. I got my oldest his second swatch for his 10th birthday.

Both my young boys were presented with Swatch watches at the beginning of the school year. Yours looks great!

Great. He reminds me of....me! I was regularly being told off at that age for looking at other people's watches.

Very nice, Nicholas. Love posts like this.

My son took an interest in my watches at the early age of 1.5. He could say all of the watch names at that age. He is now five and still gets a kick at turning the bezel on my GMT's and Subs.

Thanks guys for the warm compliments, I really love the other pics of the little boys and their dad's as well. These little guys really want to emulate us in every way. Eric, my kid and yours could sit together and ramble off reference numbers of the dads watches...my son can name all of my refernce/model numbers including the AP and Panerai I had.

How cute! Yep you may need to set aside 2 college funds... one for actual college and the other for his watch business.

That's pretty impressive, my friend. Mine can't do reference numbers yet, but knows pretty much all the names.

I remember when we went watch shopping a couple of years ago and he asked the AD if they had a GMT for his Daddy. The staff at the AD were all amazed and shocked. He was just over two and a half back then.
