Best part is if he tires of the bling bezel and dial the watch can be fitted with a reference proper dial and a fluted bezel and new hand set. The option is always there.

That is as aftermarket as it will be... Next thing he will buy grills at 18.

Congrats though.

Flashy for sure. Next step is teach him to be aware of his surroundings.

He worked hard for it. Make sure he keeps it. Lot's of dirtbags out there.

Very cool watch for a 16 year old.

Good for him. I know the watch he chose is not sitting well with most on this forum. But like I saw about everything else. Wear what you like and if this is what he likes, let him enjoy it.

Happy that he saves up and bought what he wanted. Maybe he has plans for this watch that will surprise everyone in the future.

I think it’s great. Go big or go home - like how your son can think like that and be able to save up for this watch at only 16!

My 9 year old was obsessed with a Hublot special edition Spartan version when we saw it in Greece a few months ago.. he’s now saving all of his bday and Xmas money for it!

So many clowns in this thread. Who cares what a 16 year old prefers to wear? I’m sure all you negative commenters were so mature and have the same taste and style now as you did at 16. Good for your son.

Utterly dreadful watch!! But that’s because I’m not 16. Fair play to the lad, love to see youngsters working hard and saving fort what they want, good sign for the future. Proud dad I suspect!

I wouldn’t mind the red dial with just a normal bezel. Shows the taste of the younger ones, sometimes more about the bling. As long as he enjoys it who cares!
