Reply With QuoteMay 1981. Birth month for me.
I think a birth-year watch is a lovely idea.
Nearest I got was May 1964, meaning my watch was born about 6 months after me.
I've already posted images of my almost-birthyear watch in another thread, but here it is again.
May 1981. Birth month for me.
Both this Longines and I are 1950 vintage....
I want to find something a big more wearable for my large wrist from 1950 some time.
I am also a 1981 child and am looking for a birth year watch. A beautiful Seiko 6309-7049 just went for £411 on eBay, which was a bit out of my price range! (and overpriced in my opinion!)Originally Posted by Dave O'Sullivan

Smiths Deluxe. The Sterling silver case was made in Birmingham in 1958, as was I; so it is birth year and birth place watch.
Now you're just showing off Simon! :-)
I don't have one so far, but am on a mission to join this thread with an '83 Rolex 16750.
I'm sure one will crop up on this thread shortly
What this one Thom? ;)
My 83 16750
How did I know YOU'D be along ;)
Love it Mike, hope you're well
It took me a long time to find a 1982 Omega I liked. This unusual Seamaster Quartz came along about 18 months ago so I pounced on it!
It lasted about a month, totally wasn't my style at all! Sold at a significant loss.
I won't buy another watch just because it's the right year!

'75 Seiko 6105-8119
'75 Seiko 6159-7010
Wearing it now and loving it!
Funnily enough I've been wearing this over the weekend - my 81 Speedy Pro.
Cheers

Lovely birth year watch OP, crisp and stylish. Mine's quite a bit different... and handy if you find yourself needing to knock a nail in.
Rich (1971).
1961 Seiko Crown J14084CW
And 1961 Seiko Crown J15003E
I have two:
This is mine - a 1970 Bulova Accutron. I really must get it fixed and working again!!
Probably a 'nearly' as I think it's actually a 1961...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Summer 1960., 6 months before I was born.
My mother bought this Marvin cal. 700 to my father as birthday gift.
Now that is an utter beauty. More info and pictures please!!Both this Longines and I are 1950 vintage....

Two Seiko chronos... birth month for me:
From 1979
1967
I have two too....
Bit greedy here.
Seiko 6105 which is Month and year
Rolex GMT
Seiko GS
First two were bought because of the birth year/month thing. The GS was a happy coincidence.

1972 1680 - birthday gift from wife last year:
Your wife is great
She is amazing. I am VERY lucky.
Great pics fellas
Wearing mine today, a 6605 from 1956
Still looking for that birth year watch, good watches I have seen from my year are out of my budget, but most are a load of crap. It was a bad year for watches 1946.
After a long wait, I'm glad to be able to bump this thread and join in:
