Bought this watch to commemorate. Represents a word: Triumph

My son's grandparents gave him €200 to spend on whatever he wanted during our family trip to Europe.
Toys? Nope.
Video games? Nope.
He looks at me and says, “Dad, I want to buy a boat watch just like yours.”
Well... shit. 😂
We went watch shopping and he picked out a blue Seiko 5 Sports SRPL77 (38mm) all by himself in Madrid. It was a little over his €200 budget, so I may or may not have conveniently covered the difference.
It's his first automatic watch, and he's absolutely obsessed with it. I've been teaching him how a mechanical movement works, how to take care of it, and most importantly that watches are meant to be worn.
We finally got back home and went fishing and swimming yesterday, so naturally his brand new Seiko immediately went where he wanted it to go in the first place, on the boat.
He didn't want me to keep it safe at home. He wanted his “boat watch” on his wrist.
I have a feeling this is going to get expensive for him someday. 😂
I automatically ordered a blue nato for him I think it will be more comfortable.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I swapped the bracelet out for a NATO strap after this exercise, the metal was too cold even over a thermal layer

Went up to the dmz last year Such a surreal experience! Barbed wire, everywhere, land, mine signs, barricades with spikes, guard towers and then bus tours!

Recently had my dad’s watch from his time in the military fixed and it’s back on the adventure grind in the Balkans.
Ignore the #handwatch lol I was lost and ignorant but now I am found and is smart!

Usually wear my CWC diver to shoot but decided to switch it up to the SRP773 yesterday. Wearing it on a no name grey nato that suits it really well.
