I love the sentiment. I thought I would gift watches to my children as well. My oldest just turned 18 and left for college this Fall. Unfortunately, he didn’t give a crap about a watch. Oh well, there are two more behind him, maybe they will be more interested.

Beautiful pair.

Not surprised he didn’t want a 18yr old battered scratched up used watch that his dad had had the best out of. Same will happen to OP.

Buying for kids.. heard it.

lol till the they find out it's worth 50k, they will ask you for it.
you gotta nurture them from young, let them be around your watches. let them know the value of it and the mechanics of it.

Maybe wait for a life milestone as has been mentioned. 'Down the road' might not be a bad way to go about it.
