Morning,

Caught the Rolex bug and can't stop thinking about which watch to buy next. Well it's my birthday today and have made the decision that next one I buy will be from by birth year. I've love to see everyones opinion on the best watches made/released in 1987.

Thanks in advance!

Hard to beat a 16750. Or i'd go day-date 18038.

I agree a 16750 is perfect.
Stopped in 1988 I think.
Alternatively, a 16520?

Happy Birthday, man! To be 28 again....
That said, this is one of the few times I'm grateful to be born before the white gold surrounds period!

That said, I would hunt down one of these:

Wasn't the 168000 around in 1987? That's a rare piece available quite inexpensively.

jdmi32 · 20 November 2015, 03:53 AM

1. 6263 or 6265 Daytona
2. 16550 cream dial

That's also my birth year. I'm excited to see what people say as I think I should own a watch from my birth year

A nice 16613 two-tone Submariner with blue dial.

powerfunk · 20 November 2015, 05:57 AM

16753 Root Beer!

1987 is also my birth year and I would love to eventually add a birth year piece to the stable. My top picks would be:

6263
16618
16550 (cream)
16750
5513

ADINVA · 20 November 2015, 08:27 PM

Just want to say, Happy Birthday and all wishes come true! Stay healthy and be happy always.

jensenn · 20 November 2015, 11:40 PM

thanks for all the responses and birthday wish!

16013 is a great suggestion but i already have a 16014 linen datejust. i think i have it down to either a 5513 or 16750

Born 1971 I have both the 5513 and 1675...while I do love my Sub, if I could only have one between them, the 1675 has more personality and functionality, even with the non-quickset date I had to advance ten days this morning. Happy Birthday and best of luck in your choice.
