Ever "grown" into a watch? Got any evidence of WISdom in your formative years?
Not sure who posted the previous thread asking us to take a trip down memory lane but I have to admit it was fun! At the time, I was scanning a bunch of dad's 35mm slides and came across a couple of yours truly wearing the second watch he ever owned and yes, it was a Seiko! It was Christmas 1966 when I received a Sportsmatic from my Godfather. I remember two things at the time; 1) man this thing's huge and 2) oh, it's made in Japan...Funny how things change, eh? I still have the watch and in my quest to get it fixed, i stumbled on to SCWF a number of years ago. So who cares what the stars are sportin' in the movies? Let's see what YOU were wearing before becoming a famous WIS! Without further adieu here's my own personal WIS sighting;
Circa 1967-1968
Here's the watch
