··Ash @ ΩFSort of long story but back in about 1989 my brother was 20 and bought his first TAG Heuer watch, an F1 chronograph, specifically this one on the left, which he wore for about 8 years. It then sat in a drawer for a while until he gave it to me, and then I wore it for 8 years until buying the Omega on the right.
Then about a year ago I gave it back to my brother to be serviced and given to my eldest nephew, who is 8. Now this isn't a cheap rubbish watch, there is an identical one listed on eBay right now for $799, so he was told that it never comes off no matter what, and he has stuck to that, he wears it truly everywhere.
Now for her birthday a few weeks ago, my 10 year old niece got a fashion watch from her parents, about $280 worth but very nice for a girl her age. She had to take it off to go swimming at school and sadly it was stolen from the change rooms by the time she got back. She's a very responsible young girl and only took it off because as a fashion watch it had no real water resistance and she had wanted to protect it. Suffice to say the poor girl hasn't been able to sleep, and is really sad that she lost something her parents gave her as a gift.
So... my brother asked me to find her someone else, a TAG, waterproof for swimming purposes, to match her younger brother's F1, and here's what I went for:
