Dunno if this has been done before.

Digging about in the drawer I found my first ever proper watch. It maybe missing its straps and has been over wound (I think).



I suspect the year would have been about 1973/4? Is there any way to find out?
Worthless I know, but it would be nice to find more information.

Any one else got their original watch?

My first watch was my grandads old cyma cymaflex watch, he started life as a simple brickie and saved up for this and a Thomas Russell good watch. He died when I was very young, so was given this at an early age to remember him by. It is the watch that started off my collection. The photo below is taken from this post http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f... which you may find interesting.

My first nice watch was an adidas watch that looked like this



I still have it. I was rather fond of it in secondary school

My very first watch was the classic bog standard casio



Had a couple of those, I think one had a green backlight and the other a white one.

My (actual) first watch was a blue and yellow Timex, which was given to me on my 5th Birthday! However my first proper watch was a Tag Link Calibre S:

I got one of these in the late 70's... I wasn't allowed to have a watch until I could tell the time using an analogue clock (I was about 4 at the time).
