I for one am glad teens these days in Aus are appreciating watches more, considering that many people here well into their 20s consider a luxury watch an Emporio Armani or a Michael Kors
Hahaha Ahhh love it.
good choice on the seiko, it's a true classic and a must have for any seiko enthusiast. Enjoy it, post pics when it arrives as well.

Good choice, young padwan. :yoda:
It is indeed good to see that our teen generation are appreciating a fine watch, gives me hope.
I'll tell you what I sell a lot of to young lads (12-16 or so) that surprises me and that's pocket watches. I can't keep a stock of cheap quartz pocket watches, primary school boys keep buying me out.

17 Year old here. I would say the Seiko is an excellent choice (I've got one myself) and you will enjoy it. If you want reps, make sure you go for things that aren't too popular to the common public, for example an AP. I'm planning to buy the v6 Diver to my collection soon and even though it's an expensive watch I know I can pull it off because no one at my private school has any idea about watches besides the fashion brands and Rolex. So whatever you decide, they are all great options. Good luck!
Now that surprises me. But they say fashion always comes back around so I'm not sure why it does.
I have some Seiko's I've had for 20-30 years that I still wear. When I was 13 I had a brand new Heuer 1000 Professional Dive watch. after 5 years it was tattered, but worked for another 5 years. had it in the drawer for another 20 years and just sold it on ebay not working. have a gen Rolex dj and Sub I got in the 80's that I have worn daily for half my life (hunting, fishing, diving, motorcycle trips, camping, etc.) serious abuse on the Sub and it is still perfect. serviced them about every 5-6 years, polished, a few bezels and crystals replaced...currently both look brand new. best investments ever. I now wear them mostly for work and the Seiko's Citizen's etc for activities. I enjoy reps for the hunt, hobby, and value. wear them mostly at work and going out to look good
When I was in high high school, I think I was the only one with a mechanical watch and only cause my father gave it to me, deep down I still wanted one of those kick ass calculator watches. Now I've meet a 16 year old, he had a damn gen Patek Moonphase and a Datograph
I would recommend a 42mm PO. Most people from meter or two won't know if it's Omega or Orient/Seiko.
I actually have one of these:
This has got more compliments than any of the reps... But I was in a hipster school so what do I know.

That's a great choice and don't forget to post a few pics when you get it...Welcome to the forum too.
Now if you'll excuse me, my horse awaits. :lol:
Yeah, I'd agree, pretty much anything screams out fake at that age. Plus I think you need to be prepared to get 1-2 duds to really enjoy this hobby, and I'm not guessing you have the bankroll for that.
