Flashback to my first watch: The Flik Flak

My Flik Flak was my first wristwatch.  Flik Flaks are still made today by the Swatch group.  The case was made of aluminum.  Kind of cool for a kids watch, considering many years later FP Journe made the first aluminum sports watch.

As a youngster I thought this watch was incredibly cool with its green colour scheme and funny people shaped hands.

I thought it would be fun to do a comparison of the Flik Flak with the chunkiest watch I own.

My PAM at 44mm is pretty big and has a chunky case.  Viewing them side by side gives you a pretty good indication of the size difference :)


The crown guard of the PAM is nearly half the size of the FF

One is very chunky
Here are some pictures of the Flik Flak on its own.  As I have gotten into watches more, I notice the little details now like the ETA stamping on the case and on the dial.
