Ninja Kid Incoming

Pretty excited... wanted to get the kid a holiday present. Instead of other things she wanted another watch and a Rolex that would hold value over the next coming decade, so got her a lovely OP36 blue 9,6,3.

Love this watch. Great size for men and women, and just classic and reminds me of the old school bubble backs. I would love to steel her watch to wear but nope I’ll resist.

Anyhow, will give it to the kid when I get home as an early present.

I assume she’s going to start using this as a beater. I had sold 2 of her beaters in the pass and she missed having something she didn’t have to worry about scratches and such.


Anyhow. Here’s the watch...

Nice. I’ve not seen that dial. It’s pretty.

Beautiful reference. Will you adopt me? My parents gave me a toy dump truck at that age.

That's a perfect start and great foundation watch. A classic that will always look good. Really can't miss.

I gave the same reference to my wife and she loves it. What else does your daughter have besides the Richard Mille and the OP?

She’s really excited to wear it... the Apple Watch or g-shock for school

I had sold her other rolex dj26 and baby nautilus a few months back. She wasn’t happy about it.


This dial is just beautiful. I wish this came on the explorer 1
