Do we collect for our children aswell ๐Ÿค”

Hi everyone I was just reading edge168n post about a watch abc book great I love it it was obviously about getting our children into the hobby from an early age,I've started from around two years trying them with a watch to see if they do or don't like the feel,don't make them wear them everyday it's just a testing period,when I can see there interested I get them a couple and they ask me to grab them one think it's cool and I know there copying me and feeding of my obsession ๐Ÿ™„but there's nothing wrong with learning to tell the time from early and looking cool while doing so,post your children's collection underneath make me feel better about it I know I'm not on my own ๐Ÿ‘Œ

My children have always just helped themselves to my collection. Fortunately I only a few valuable pieces that are locked away. But the others are fair game apparently ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Two of my grandsons are starting to like watches, Iโ€™ve just bought a first watch for one of them and the other grandson has a cool collection already, they are both less than 12 yrs old ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

We must pass on this interest we have or should I say obsession ๐Ÿ˜‚

My daughter was doomed from the start. She already has the obligatory WRUW wrist flip down too ๐Ÿ˜‚. And she LOVES showing people her "Wa-uchhh". She also loves randomly looking at her wrist, even when not wearing a watch, and shouting 5 minutes till baff. (Apparently our evening bathtime routine has stuck ๐Ÿ˜‚)

She will also get excited when she sees me getting ready for a training ruck march. I sometimes shout out, 10 minutes till step time, at which point she will start running around asking "Wa-uch where are you?" or "Crocs, where are you?". ๐Ÿ˜Š since she knows she is about to go on a stroller ride. Also, pushing a stroller, under load, is surprisingly a heckuva workout FYI.

I collect for myself. The kids have recently started borrowing from me, and as such, I encourage them to seek out what they like without influence from my likes and opinions.

Great way to be my friend I try to encourage free thinking and to make there own minds up on things even if it's something I believe because I'm not always right ether all powerful daddy ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™„watches and being able to tell the times all good though, wouldn't like them to fall down the luxury rabbit hole though especially if not in there means ๐Ÿ‘Œ
