Have you ever gotten someone else interested in watches?

I think I may have asked this a long time ago, but maybe things have
changed over the years, and answers might have changed too right?! Smile

Here we go: Have you ever gotten someone else interested in watches?
Or more accurately, have you gotten someone who didn't really care
about watches, to suddenly get into them? Or the hobby as a whole?

That has to be just THE best Gary ! cheers

Am betting he probably didn't get it at first, but then once he was seeing
the watch show you put on every day, he couldn't resist finding out more,
and getting into the hobby. Have you ever gotten someone else interested in watches? 812159

A lot of times it feels like our
society is so caught up in all being into the same things. And there really
is the feel of people following pop culture trends, and the like. With watches
kind of being left out. That is unless you are talking about an Apple Watch,
or step counter thingamabob.

But honestly think real watches, along with this hobby is so dynamic, and
has such an incredible history, that most people nowadays are missing out.
Missing out on something real, something tangible, and something that is,
and has never been a fad, or trend.

For myself, I really haven't gotten anyone into the hobby, but actually am
someone who got into watches due to someone else. Very Happy

My brother, father,
and grandfather all like watches, and I was actually late to the party ! cheers

It's funny though, I got myself into watches. Nobody I knew liked them, except my Dad and he usually wore cheap Casio's. until the band rotted off then he would tape it on for a couple years then buck up the $10 to buy another. Never really knew watches were a lifestyle.

I wonder what the
percentage is in reality of how many people got into watches naturally like you. And those
that got into them because someone else showed them the way. Very Happy

..Guess we will never
actually know, but it is fun to think about. cheers

Thanks a bunch as always for sharing your thoughts sir !!!
