Submariner type watch for a boy.

[13m]

Has anyone come across anything? Something like this but with a stainless bracelet ideally:



Many thanks for any pointers.

It needs to be boy sized. Those appear large.

What age boy are we talking? 3 years? 15 years?

Sounds creepy

Ha, it does a bit.

My son has a Baume & Mercier for when he's a bit older. It'll probably be another 8 years before it fits (he's only 21 months currently) but it's very much a boys size watch.

11 is a good age if you have the budget to look at vintage Tudor Submariners. They come in a boys size

What's your budget?

I think you'll struggle to find many new diver's watches that small, except Ladies models, which tend to be a bit, well, girly...

This may be a contender.

Because he may misplace it I am going to say £100. More for something I really like.

Though on second look it appears small. 35-36mm would be ideal I think.

I haven't that budget and he would not thank me for a watch that has to be reset every time he puts it on.

Got to be this, comes mid size also available in Kinetic rather than auto. I wouldn't shy away from automatics though, once you've got them on that slippery slope the only way is down UP !

I Have bought my 11 old boy two automatics, once they understand the basics, what they do, how they breath, then they know how to treat them and bring them back to life.

I think MID size is 36-37mm across the bezel, small enough for a boys wrist.

That's nice. It would be better if it was either quartz or had no date function. Why? Because he will only wear it at weekends and he'll need to set it every week.

But that's the best so far thanks.

That's nice too. It's 100m rated so will it be lighter than the 200m above?

How about a nice G-shock?

He wants "a silver one".

He has seen my stainless sports watches and wants one similar.
