Here's my first watch, the watch itself needs no introduction however as this is my first post on the forum I would like to introduce myself

For as long as I can remember I have always had a watch on my wrist

The first watch I owned was given to me by my farther when I was a toddler, it featured the children's TV character postman pat and was made out of very light plastic.

Another watch that springs to memory was a digital watch that was given to me by my brother, when you pressed a button it read out the time, it also had a library of sounds from pressing another button , one of them was a cockerel this happened to be my favourite sound but you had to cycle through the others to get to it, hours of fun for a 5 year old, not so much fun for my teachers. This watches fate ended the most spectacularly out of all the watches I've owned, I had left it on the metal guard of a gas heater in my room which I had never seen being used. My dad was watching football in the living room and my mother resorted to using the TV in my room to watch the soaps, she got a bit cold... A short while later she presented the molten watch to me on a spatula.

I have been wearing a seiko sports for the last 8 years, this was given to me by my farther and it has been through the wars, my job is extreamy harsh for my watches, eventually the bezel insert fell off whilst I was in the ships bar, my colleague grabbed it, removed his penis and wore it as a cock ring, after I commented on the very loose fit I decided that I would not be fitting this particular insert back to my watch and have been wearing the watch without the insert for the last few years.

My dad moved to Australia 5 years ago, I visited him last month for the first time and he gave me his seiko orange monster divers watch that he was given by my uncle. I took it to the great barrier reef with me and within a day of wearing it I was getting comments from watch enthusiasts.

I have always been very contempt with my basic models of watches and never sought to purchase any particular watch, this is because almost all of my watches were gifts and they held more value to me than any watch I could buy

My dad's always owned a collection of watches, mainly featuring sports rolexes. whilst they've always been interesting to look at, I've been in the position to be able to buy one for quite some time now but there was never anything that appealed enough for me to buy one and besides I had my seiko sports which I valued... But then I saw the James Cameron edition of the Deepsea seadweller. I have been working as an rov pilot for the last ten years (underwater robots) we operate to depths of thousands of metres and this is why the watch appealed to me, I have just received a promotion at work and this is my reward to myself.

I'll be wearing my orange monster whilst on duty and the Deepsea the rest of the time, I'm also in the process of obtaining a new bezel insert for my seiko sports.
