A lot can change by the time he's 18 so it really should depend on what you can envision him proudly wearing when he eventually reaches that age. I think your son is so lucky to have a dad as generous as you.

That being said, if he's going to grow up to be a big lad, the sea dweller might be a better fit. If he's a little more expressive the batman would be spot on. Maybe he loves the simplicity of the submariner bezel? Too many factors at this moment.

My 2 shillings worth

If he don't like, i can wear. LOL

i would vote for 116610LV the HULK...

It is hard to guess his taste when he reaches 18.

To be save, you may wanna avoid the Hulk. Black is neutral but green, hmmm if you really go for it, make sure you bring him up to like green.

Well my vote goes to GMT Batman .... for bad boys

ahboy · « **Reply #29 on:** January 28, 2015, 03:15:01 PM »

my vote goes to Rolex 116710LN

moxxjet · « **Reply #30 on:** January 28, 2015, 03:24:09 PM »

To each his own..never found the hulk appealing. But I'm sure so many hulk advocates would say otherwise

IMO Rolex 116610LN / LV carry a lot of meaningful weight to next generation, Evergreen it's something that retains the spirits throughout his path of growth

silverstan · « **Reply #32 on:** January 29, 2015, 07:08:42 AM »

The result:

116710BLNR - 6
116710 LN - 2
116610 LV - 6
116610 LN - 3

So, its either 116710 BLNR or 116610 LV. Gonna let his mother to choose between these 2.

moxxjet · « **Reply #34 on:** January 29, 2015, 07:26:07 AM »

116710BLNR for my vote to break the tiebreaker

dennis.T · « **Reply #35 on:** January 29, 2015, 08:55:50 AM »

116710BLNR...

davidtth · « **Reply #36 on:** January 29, 2015, 02:23:43 PM »

LV the hulk for me too, the green is absolute different feeling when wearing it on hand, and not forget their iconic color too

MDF · « **Reply #37 on:** January 29, 2015, 04:17:46 PM »

BLNR gets my vote

mike · « **Reply #38 on:** January 29, 2015, 05:15:22 PM »

GMTmaster · « **Reply #44 on:** January 29, 2015, 07:48:13 PM »

good choice

Why not give him one of your watches? That would be surely much more meaningful than a mere mass produced commodity item like a new Rolex?

timenut · « **Reply #46 on:** January 30, 2015, 06:11:10 AM »

Yeah, I also think it would make more sense to give him one of your timepieces, rather than a 16-year old NOS Rolex. Personally, I'd prefer to have received a watch that had spent a lot of time with my father, rather than an "old" watch that has no history.

Also, a lot can happen in 16 years. Maybe in the future, people don't wear mechanical wristwatches anymore.

JeepWH · « **Reply #47 on:** January 30, 2015, 06:19:18 AM »

Mechanical timepieces will forever be worn by people....

During the quartz revolution, many people said that it was the end of mechanical timepieces. But look at the world now, or nearer in this forum, most if not all the watches posted here are mechanical watches.

moxxjet · « **Reply #48 on:** January 30, 2015, 06:59:31 AM »

Think silverstan has in mind a Rolex so let's give him that support

So many 'maybes' and 'what ifs' to even debate. Another pandora's box waiting to happen.

My point of view, mechanical is still mechanical, no matter how advance the technology will be. I don't think it will happen in 16 years that no one going to wear mechanical watch anymore.
I have 1 can pass down in my mind, which is my 5054R. But that just not suitable for kid. That's why plan to get 1 and keep for him. By his 18, give him as birthday present, it's still from my collection anyway, but with unworn condition only.
