Something special for my son
By: David_S : April 9th, 2019-02:56
My son will have his Bar Mitzvah this year and I wanted to choose something special for him. The constraints were a limited budget and it had to be something relatively simple so it would not look too ridiculous on a 13 year old wrist... However, I still ...
I thought about it.
By: David_S : April 9th, 2019-05:04
But the date was already a bit above the budget I had set myself. Also, he needs something to look forward too!
LOL! [nt]

Totally agree

It is more gorgeous and balanced ...

The sector dial is quite nice but I can't help but wonder if the Polaris on a rubber strap would be a better choice for the rought and tumble "life style" a 13 year old boy. It's also a bit more low key and on a rubber strap it probably won't stand out as...
It’s a fantastic choice!

It is young looking, the case is small enough and definitely for special occasions only. Most importantly, it is a gift from father to son. Best, David PS. When I was at that age, God knows many g shocks or Swatch watches I had lost or misplaced. I guess ...
No offence taken.

My eldest received a Blancpain at the same age. It's still going fine 5 years later, without even a dent, so there is hope!
When I was 13, I wanted a Breitling in the worst way...
By: jmpTT : April 9th, 2019-06:31
Not a tasteful Breitling either. ☺️ I’m glad I did not have such a nice watch at that age, to be honest. Like a cool kid in high school with a Ferrari, it’s doubtful I would have worn the Breitling around my friends with humility. Even in my early 20s, I ...
It's funny you should mention this.
By: David_S : April 9th, 2019-06:42
As a matter of fact, I had a Breitling (reasonably tasteful) for similar reasons when I was in my late teens. Not too flashy, but a Breitling nevertheless... I'm not sure I wore it with humility back then, but, funnily enough, it was adopted by my eldest ...
Congrats

I don't know your
By: Rapwatch : April 9th, 2019-09:52
son, your story or your circumstances. However I would contend that for such a special occasion an alternative might be something: timeless ageless classless a Speedy Pro* Rapwatch *The proper one, flight quailifed model, hesalite, solid back.
Obviously a lovely gift, but at the risk of sounding curmudgeonly...

When I had my bar mitzvah in 1974, my parents bought me a (polyester) new plaid suit to wear on the bimah. I can't recall what they might have given to me as a gift, beyond hosting a dinner in our garage for friends and family from out of town that Saturd...
Interesting take
By: David_S : April 10th, 2019-01:46
Your post highlights two questions: have time changed that much and, I suppose, can we spoil our children while at the same time teaching them the value of money and things. My Bar Mitzvah was 30 years ago, so somewhat later than you, but still closer to ...
Thank you for taking my memories in the proper light.
By: remarque : April 10th, 2019-19:24
I did not want you to think that I was saying your son should not have such a gift. We all want to provide well for our families, do wonderful things for and by them, and see our children develop into good, caring, kind and grounded adults who can have be...
Many truths in what you say
By: David_S : April 11th, 2019-03:16
Marc, I agree. It's always a struggle for me between my very strong instinct to make sure my kids never suffer and live the most comfortable life possible and the engrained worry that this generation is very protected and may not receive the right tools t...
