How about an Omega Speedmaster from his birth year?

He wasn't keen on the bezel. Thanks for the suggestion thoughhttp://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/speedmaster--id421...
Watch has been purchased ready for this weekend. Will post a wrist picture when he has it on. He does not know which one he is getting. It looks stunning though and I am a very happy dad that I can do this for him. He may not appreciate a watch yet as he has a phone to tell the time but in time I'm sure he will.

Thinking back to when I was 18, I think i'd quite want a well known brand. At that age, image and brand recognition are as important as the quality of the watch. Even if it is approved used in order to get the brand at the right price.
Breitling, Rolex, Tag, Omega.
A sweeping generalisation!
I'm not sure any of the major watch names mean anything to 18 year old of this generation. The only time pieces they have are iPhone, HTC, Samsung etc. A shame really as I remember looking in watch shop windows in Birmingham New Street when I was younger with disbelief that a Rolex could cost as much as my Dad's car thinking, one day. Breitling, Rolex, Tag, Omega.

He really likes wearing it and now wants a watch as a daily. So now to get something a bit less costly.
Sounds like you've introduced him to an expensive new hobby. Excellent hobby mind you!Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
