    He buys a Kick A$$ vintage PREMIRA chronograph that's what! Must say I am quite proud of my son and his 1st endeavor into the world of vintage watches. Also, very lucky to have a great friend from Germany who saw a WTB post and offered him this super cool piece at a most reasonable price knowing he was buying most of it himself. Could not be happier for him and I can tell you, he could not be more thrilled. Just another example of why the vintage watch collector community is so awesome!

    Great post - so much that's very cool here: a charming shared interest between teenager and parent: a teenager interested in mechanical watches; a teenaged interested in vintage watches and; a super cool watch! Well done!

    No doubt! I showed him the Sprint's and said the exact same thing! It's a crazy cool piece. Next its either a fast car or a fast women. I think he and I may have a different opinion of the order! :confused:

    Wow that is a great first piece... You know if you described that watch to me I would be MEH... Although on that watch everything comes together so very nicely. Plus Tele/tachy!!!

    Now he just needs a beater SKX!!!!
