I'm at home, back to work, fortunately and unfortunately at the same time, given the situation...

But my family is still enjoying the summer holidays. My wife just sent me this picture of our son and I was quite surprised that he is continuously wearing his watch, which is his one and only, every single day, no matter the activity.



I bought it for him last summer, and I remember that I posted it here (pictures below). But he hasn't worn it a lot during the year, so let's see how his interest in watches develops... πŸ˜›





Cheers!

So far, he always complains when I want to enter a watch dealer to try on some watches, but who knows?

I'm glad that you like the Diver, thanks. It's a great watch. An excellent summer-vacation watch, specially with this silver dial. I'm back home now and sporting a kind of contender, another great watch imo:

It's been on my wrist for a few days now and I plan to keep on wearing it non-stop for at least the next three weeks. You need some time to really appreciate and enjoy the details of a watch.
