WOW -- that's a fantastic first birthday present! By the time he is old enough to say "Hoy-er", his collection will surely rival that of young Charles Devos.

Now, it's time to start the search for that perfect present for his second birthday, in September 2005! Maybe a worn-by-McQueen Monaco?

Thanks for providing the update.

: Hi everyone, the watch arrived on Sunday! Its
: everything the seller claimed and lives up
: to the photos. Just so you know, I am saving
: this watch as a Birthday present for my son
: who will turn one at the end of this month.
: I am saving it for him when he grows up (a
: kind of family heirloom you might say). It's
: just too nice to wear on a daily basis. I am
: now thinking of getting the re-issued
: version to wear daily just to quench my urge
: to wear the real deal. This watch collecting
: bug is tricky to control. You tell yourself
: that every watch you are going to buy next
: is the one that will "complete"
: your collection.... somehow it never is!
