did you grow up in a family who are watch freaks? i did. The male side of my family always talk about rado, omega, rolex and stuff while the female side of the family are all about the cartier and the gucci. so i think that's how i got the watch bug.

Did you grow up in a watch freak family?

Well, my Mum was always saying: "do you know what time it is, you have to get up and go to school!" Does that qualify?

Cheers,

Chris

None in my family is interested in watches

My father owned few rolexes and a couple of longines watches but he was never into watches now he sports a 15 $ quartz chinese watch

My mom was always using her mobile phone

hflee55 · 16 December 2008, 01:41 PM

Bisquitlips · 16 December 2008, 01:43 PM

No! I am the first in my family I'm afraid!

For shame..... for shame!

ryan_m · 16 December 2008, 01:44 PM

well if your filipino deep down were all WIS. my grandfather had a longines ,my father had a pepsi a long time ago early 80's and sold it. And now has a ss datejust from 1981 if i remember correctly, also he gave one to his brother which was a rolex precision. as for my mother she has a ss datejust from my father, and i got mine from my parents. I think it runs in my family DNA.

chenx15 · 16 December 2008, 01:45 PM

bodybump · 16 December 2008, 01:47 PM

East Bay Rider · 16 December 2008, 01:49 PM

I've been surrounded by beautiful watches all my life, and a lot of my early memories involve tearing around the local AD as a four year old

oneillba · 16 December 2008, 11:32 PM

Nope! But, I am glad I got the bug and am able to pass the passion down to my little man, Justin.

Jimbits76 · 17 December 2008, 12:16 AM

My family have a love of Rolex...not watches.

My late grandfather bought the first one...an Oyster Date in Singapore in 1958.

My father bought a TT DJ on a Jubilee.

I have an LV and my grandfather's OD.

3 Generations of Rolex buyers of 51 years!!!!!

Can't ever remember my Dad or Mom wearing a watch. I have a beautiful Hamilton pocket watch that belonged to my maternal grandfather. I just got the bug early for some reason. Always was a Rolex fan before JJ turned me on to Rado!
