My new vintage
I've just purchased a 1603 (Datejust) from 1972 (my birth year!).

It's been serviced and polished and looks amazing!!

I'm wearing it with pride and my Panerai, Breitling and Tag Heuer will be minding my watch box for a while...

Love the Buckley dial. I had one but it was stolen when I sent it to RNY for service.

I just picked up a close to my birth year Sigma dial 1603 yesterday. (I was born in 1968 watch around 1967). Here it is on a new oyster band. The included JB Champion jubilee band from 1967 will be off to Michael Young next week.

Mine also says hello. Would love to find a Buckley dial for my 1960 Day-Date.
