Best watch for 7 year old son? Budget 1.5-2k

[zygalski]

I'm not normally one to keep up with the Jones's, but I was feeling a little out of place when I went to the primary school and most of the kids were on their new iphones.
Sorry for posting this thread on PH. Honestly I'm not trying to show I've made it, or be boastful in any way. I just need help in making a decision and had nowhere else to turn.
Something discreet for around £2k that will definitely be noticed, but not be a target for thieves would be ideal.
Also, anyone recommend a good insurer, just in case?

Any advice chaps?
I'm a member of half a dozen timepiece forums, but PH seemed the obvious place to ask.
Don't be shy. We're all CEOs here.

Ok, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a timepiece for my son.
Anyone know the best finance package to aid the purchase? Any names in the trade I can be pointed to?
Before any jealous types start, I stress I could afford to pay outright for it, but choose not to.

More info needed - is it going to be a daily beater or grail watch ? How much wrist time will it get? When are you going to pull the trigger ? Will you require box and papers so you can flip it ? Have you seen one in the wild already ?

As you can see, this area is a minefield so it is important you take the appropriate advice.

Good luck and I hope your Son wears it in good health

I'm sorry I missed your earlier post.
I was on the tools getting ready for some track work with my weekend weapon.

Obvious troll/windup thread.

Nobody is stupid/retatded enough to buy a £1500 watch for a 7year old.

How else is he going to dominate primary school?

maybe a g shock, then get it iced out with some diamonds to up the bling/prestige factor, will help dominate the playground

Thanks.
Finally a sensible answer.
As to you jealous Corbynite socialist types.. it's my money (or the finance company's) so I can spend it how I like.

When you do pull the trigger can we get a wrist shot in front of a tikes steering wheel?

There is absolutely nothing more utterly vomit inducing than a watch photographed in front of a steering wheel.

It is truly the preserve of utter bellends who are desperate to make a big deal out of what little they have, and then post it on Instagram.

Au contraire.
