Yep. It doesn't matter how big he gets, he's still gonna be that little boy that followed me everywhere when he was little.

Fantastic sentiment. Love everything about this post, from the watch itself to the reasons for doing it.Fnew wrote:Yep. It doesn't matter how big he gets, he's still gonna be that little boy that followed me everywhere when he was little.

Great stuff Fred.
Btw it must have been heartbreaking to shave off the moustache that you're wearing in your profile-pic

Re: I did it, I built my own watch!
If you ordered from the same place I did, it should be there in time. My best advice is to look as LOTS of videos about the movement you selected, rehearse the steps in your head, and most importantly, have fun!DannyO wrote:It's my Dad's 60th in June.c just ordered all of the parts to make one of these...May have bitten off more than I can chew???
