The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[SixOhNine]

Given what Omega's said about his kid, I'd recommend something with a reputation for indestructiblity, say a Seiko Sumo, and I'd recommend buying 2, so he can quickly replace the first after it's inevitably lost/smashed/traded for video games.

Posting a watch I’ve posted plenty of times because I only have two View attachment 1863504

I also have two at the moment, in two very different categories. One Dress/CM/CM casual, the other more SWD/Sport.

Used classic Santos would be my pick for college watch, but not sure if that still meets the price tag or works as well in a more American campus. If the need for automatic is relaxed, a Seiko perpetual calendar GMT in titanium like sbqj015.

Buy him some shares of stock instead of a watch…..seems like this is more for you than your kid?

Good call. I just posted this to the other thread. Can be had for like $1.5-2k.

I really like this one.

Another pleasant watch, from Hamilton as well, and even cheaper.

He'll just have to scrape by on the trust fund.

I want to give him a gift that's meaningful to me. Whether it ends up being meaningful to him is out of my hands.

Good suggestions -- thanks all!

Looks like the Murph watch from Interstellar. Just released in a smaller size as well.

"Ethical Gold"?

Likely mined legally and environmentally soundly. Illegal gold mining is ripping up the Amazon right now.

Nah, it's vegan gold grown in labs. Impossible Gold™.
