... I was asking about your very first watch. I imagine you had one in your youth? Do you still have it or remember it? You may see in my post below my very first watch when I was nine years old. That was ... errr... almost 60 years ago!! Ouuuch!! Cheers!...

When my very first watch a Tissot went out of order. I was in fifth grade, the watchmaker who resized the bracelet told my mom, he is too young for such watch! What do you think was I too young? One thing is sure i took good care of it.
This would be my oldest. It belonged to my grandfather and has an inscription on the back dating it to 1965 although I wonder if it might be older than that. Wheras this was my first watch, a manual-wind Timex from the mid-late 70's. I wore it for years a...
