Birth year thread. Show yours.

Looks like the sub is the most popular birth year watch. It's understandable being TRF. Although gmt is catching up. Also directioneng is the oldest among us. 60+. Way to go bro. The thing with birth year watches, they give away ur age.


I blame it on the autoconnect.

Can't believe I haven't replied to this thread before (or maybe I have?). Anyway, here're mine, from 1964 (last complete year of those alpha hands):

6424


7296


I also have a few perhaps more desireable near-misses, from 1963 (1806, Seamaster 300 165.024) and 1966 (gilt 1016, 1675). Oh well...

Ive been thinking of adding my other birth yr watches to this thread. Here is one I got end of last year. Just another gmt. Since there r many more new members it’s time to update the thread. If u r not comfortable sharing ur age, don’t post.



I blame it on autoconnect.

Hi Adam,

Love both your beauties. Vintage rock. I really like them despite their 34mm size.

I have the advisor alarm in full set which very similar like yours.
