What triggered your decent down the watch 🕳

A Lumi-Nox with a tan dial.

Nice my friend 👌

I've thought about this recently and worked out it comes from my mum's cousin who worked in The Oman back in the seventies. He would visit maybe twice a year and I was always fascinated by his enormous colourful watch. My dad had a tiny Tudor from the fifties but cousin Hugh's big shiny watch with the numbers around the edge was something else. Only recently did it chime with me that it was a Pepsi 1675.

Glad you worked it out my friend,and I can see why that was your decent 👌amazing watch,I just found it funny that really it was a bracelet that got me,going to add a funny pic to this post later

Casio then Seiko and Citizen. I remember in staring at the Macy's displays and will always PVD Seiko watches very attracted. Then a friend of mine gave me a titanium Seiko I always liked watches just never cared to spent the money until now.

Nice must be a good friend,mine just give me bad advice 🤣wish I'd discovered seiko earlier,I'll get my double president bracelets one day,it is my friend was on my wall when I was a teen next to wu tang forever poster and a couple of MJ and nba posters an a mini basketball net 🙄🤣

Oris Chronoris. 39mm and hits hard with the retro 70s-vibe. Still on my list as a maybe one day.

Nice that my friend not seen that model before,good that we still like the watches that triggered us means are styles not changed that much,I just wouldn't want the diamonds and preferably white metal but that's an even bigger reach than a gold daydate,go hard or go home though one day I'll never say never to anything 👌

Snoop needs to outshine with a Richard Mille . So far only rich Formula 1 drivers wear them suckers . Snoop would probably get paid to wear it .

Uncle Al wore a Gold Omega constellation with white pants and flaired colourful paisly hippy shirts and Julius Marlo slip ons in tobacco leather . He was a cool cat . No celebrities required.

Snoop gets paid of everyone forget he's even a rap artist these days he's in every advert feel like he lives with me the S N double OO P 🤣

Sounds it my friend 👌all my olders were on drugs I had to tell them what time it was 🤣👌true story

The Devil made me do it. Don't ever let anyone tell you that credit cards are not the tools of Satan.

Lots of cannabis & hashish around when I was a young long hair . Surfed skated and played in bands , helluva trip…. Big seiko on the wrist . Time the tunes :)

Money in general my friend,price is an lie everything made came for free from the earth that we stand on and packaged up for us to work for or use our time to acquire

Keeping it real my friend,I had a dress watch in my teens only wore it going out on the weekends,I skated aggressive on inlines painful but fun,I'll dig out a pic look more criminal than cool like you fine sir but we all have to start somewhere 🤣

You look like lots of my mates back in the say , one mate Karl B was the first dude to have an 8 “ pink mow-hawk and black with his Buzzcocks T shirt . I liked Kraftwerk in the bowl 🙂 your also brave doing railing grinds , that's wicked mad 🙂

I loved watches growing up, lost my favorite when I was on the lake and kinda left it there for a while. Years later my dad gave a fossil watch he had laying around, I tore the stem out of it unloading the car. I had enjoyed wearing the watch on my trip so when it broke I was upset, and thinking it would be expensive to have it repaired I might as well just look into another watch and I realized “wait a minute… I could probably find an affordable mechanical watch!” have been falling ever since.

Some reason your last message isn't loading,let me read most on my email got to buzzcocks 🤣my uncle was famous in Manchester for having the first mowhawk and getting his full school to strike was in the paper,years later him and some of his friends went on strike on the roof of Manchesters prison strangeways and threw tiles at police,so he did learn something from school 🤣😬

I'm not going to look at your watches yet did these experiences shape your collection today ie robust water proof tool watches,unbreakable tanks or something with GPS so can't be lost 🤔

For me it was the day date of Bonez Mc, a German rapper. Then I just wanted to know which watches all the rappers talk about and the rabbit hole sucked me in 😂

Same hole I feel in then my friend 😂cool hole to go down 👌

In the early 2000s, it seems Tag Heuer was the rage and every other athlete, actor and music artist was wearing one… so yeah, that definitely was my trigger and I ended up buying this formula1 in 2009 and love it to this day 🤙❤️

Nice that my friend funny because I was only telling someone today that tag used to wear the crown in the 90s like rolex is the name now and how short people's memories are 🤣👌

I developed an interest as a child in the 1960s after watching my grandfather and uncles huddled around the dinner table admiring each other's watches. That was my first introduction to Rolex and Omega and I just thought they looked so shiny and magical!

That's cool my friend I love to hear stories about families getting people into watches inspiring little ones for the future and handing down watches,don't think there's a better thing to hand down on a sentimental level or am I just bias because I love watches and would have loved that for myself 🤣I didn't live that dream but I've more than made sure my children are 👌
