Born in 1955 and have a Rolex for each year from 1950 to 1959. It makes me feel good.

I think it depends.

I would think you would find at least a smudge of more meaning on a watch from your birth year than one with a random year.

When i turned 50 i thought it would be cool to have a watch that's 50 years old as well. Plus l liked 1675s anyway, so what the heck.

Bought one, just didn't like it that much, so sold it a year or so later for more than i paid.

I get it, but for me, vintage watches aren't what i like.

In almost all collectable markets birth year vintage stuff is a thing, not just watches.

I don't see what the big deal is if someone wants to get a "birth year" rolex who cares? To me it isn't nearly as bad or ridiculous as the silly nicknames people try to assign to these watches.

I'd love a birth year watch or some other significant years (and to avoid some as well).

But if it's not for you, that's cool too.
