That's awesome, Adam. :fro: It's always a great feeling when the kids share the same interests; before long, he'll be asking to wear that awesome IWC BPPC of yours!

You know what's funny is not long ago I was at the Gap Kids here at South Coast with my 6-year old picking up some back-to-school things and he wanted that exact same watch in the exact same color! :lol: Only reason he ended up not getting is because he remembered that he's been getting pretty good at telling time on his analog watches and he wanted to keep practicing, haha.

Nice but I'm banging my head trying to recall that green watch you had way back when. You should have just given him that. ;)

Yes, it's a POS Gap-branded watch, and yes, I was opposed to buying it for him, in spite of his begging, but the little bastard pulled an end run around me and used his own money (birthday/tooth fairy fund).

How could I say no to that? :shrug: Exactly.

He may be a WIS yet. :love:

Regards,
Adam

PS - Yes, he has two other watches, but they were gifts; this is the first one that he saw and "had to have".
He is young enough to pull it off

Poor bugger. It sounds like you're spreading the sickness around the household Adam. Now the little guy will be subjected to a life of wrist gazing...oh boy.

Dr. Mom most definitely shot me a bemused sideways glance at the dinner table Sunday night as Paul was showing off his purchase.

Soooo Cool! :thumbsup:

AC jr will remember it forever. I know I did.
Cool choice, he's a budding wis.

The apple don't fall far from the tree.
He should appreciate an awesome collection when you pass it down, or when he sneaks them out of the box. ;)
