How much more would you pay?
Looking to get a birth year sub. How much more would you pay for watch that was made in that particular year.

Nothing more than the watch is worth. Really a “birth year” watch is just an excuse to buy another watch, which is fine I guess. What year Sub are you shopping for?

Its only worth more to you because it is your birth year. For other potential buyers, it is just another sub

I agree with Dan. I would never pay a premium for any birth year watch. It's a fad perpetuated by dealers.

I wouldn’t pay anything extra for a birth year it’s not as if you are buying something more exclusive it’s just a way of extracting more money from you

I'll say nothing more, I would still ask for a discount.
Unless you find your birth year with with you initials and your same birth date engraved on the watch, then I'll start to think about...

I find the birth years watch fad to be for less experienced collectors who are looking for an excuse to buy a watch.
