I just purchased a late 16750 matte dial made the year of my graduation from college.

My parents never had the money to buy me the rolex I wanted at the time so I am getting around to it now. I am not sure what the " birth year" rolex trend is all about as I have never heard of someone buying a rolex for an infant.

Photos to follow.

It's just neat to have a Rolex that was born the same year you were.

I guess I get that..." this watch is as old as I am" kinda thing.

Same reason to get a newspaper printed the day you were born.
