Imagine you’re a 15 year old middle class boy but you like to dress like a roadman

What watch brand do you favour? Any one got any intel on watches these type of young gents wear? To set the scene, they are also wearing black joggers or low slung jeans, Nike sport socks, Nike trainers, a white t shirt preferably Calvin Klein and a gym shark or Nike hoody, Ralph Lauren if they are feeling swish, topped off with a black north face or adidas coat and perhaps a little Nike beanie if
it is sub zero temps or they are unhappy with their hair. Any cool brands to know for a watch?

😂😂😂

I’m enjoying this thread 😂

I also house a sadly privileged wannabe roadman. It's all about the Casio retro watches. The more old-school, the better. Like this.

Don't worry, since my one started sixth form he's discovered suits and now wanders the 'hood looking like a contestant from The Apprentice.

A musical guide to being a roadman:

I think watches might make a come back now that phones are banned in schools.

@ClaredeBear that's my mental image exactly!!! The old donkey jacket's with the leather patches on the shoulders 😁

To who? I look forward to your answer.

We had a roadman, he’s 21 now so moved on a bit, but the Casio GShock was a hit at that age. He also had a silver Hugo Boss which he liked, and just to throw a different brand in the mix he has an Omega x Swatch planets watch which is deemed very desirable.

Urban Outfitters have several - like PP said, I think now rules on phones have been tightened up, more wannabe roadmen will want watches…

I have a 12 year old aspiring roadman and I just wanted to come on to thank you for this thread - there are not many that make me genuinely laugh but this one really has so thanks for this on a dreary foggy morning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s a cute, funny thread but I really wish they didn't all look like phone snatchers.

Young black people leading urban sartorial trends = criminals from Brixton. Wow.

They are in the main very sweet boys under it all. My roadman was stopped by a homeless guy lying on the ground who said he felt suicidal. DS called an ambulance and stayed and chatted to the guy all about his life whilst they waited an hour. Him and all his mates were celebrating the RB sentencing, and were miffed it wasn’t longer.
Don’t be afraid of the road men!

I wouldn't be encouraging a teen to dress like a roadman.
My teen has always worn a garmin.

Whatever you do, don't do what I tried to do last Christmas and try to convert him to old school 90's hip hop. Nothing makes you feel more old than your 14 year old saying ' but I already listen to music from the olden days- Tyler the Creator is from 2010!'

I don't have a roadman of my own, but good grief, I think I've recognised about half of the teenage boys I teach 🤣

Good luck with the watch hunt.

Word.

Bless.

Me too and I'm un the UK.
It's definitely not a phrase I've ever heard other than for men who work on the roads 😅

Wayne rooneys son is a footballer who has scouse parents and grew up on a mansion in cheshire. I’m assuming private schooled. His road man accent is hilarious.

Whats your budget?

Ah. I'd just get a smart watch that is compatible with his phone.

G-Shock, Polo, Palace, Supreme - that’s what’s going on with our little middle class roadman at the moment.

@DevastatingFinish thank you for brightening my day with this thread. It’s the best I have seen in a long time.

Howling laughing 😃
