    50 today!

    Well, sort of. Originally sold in The Netherlands, to the day. No other point to this post, than that!

    I know birth year watches polarise opinion, but I like it that it was sold a week or so before I was born.

    Nice looking Speedmaster. It begs the question: after 50 years, which of you is in better condition?!

    Happy birthday
    Nice watch
    Am not against birth year watches if the watch you want is available
    Just not in favor of choosing a watch model based on birth year availability

    Looks like a great watch to me, I have always been interested in owning a birth year watch, but they are very difficult to get hold of with all the correct paperwork like yours.

    Have a great birthday!

    Thanks Raj. It was originally bought because of the year, I just struck lucky with it being what it is.

    All the best Ed on your 50th! Maybe when I'm down your way a curry and beer might be in order!

    I love this. I'd like to get a birth year watch myself at some point... I'm keeping an eye out on Sales Corner for the right vintage!

    Many happy returns, @ed335d!

    I recently picked up a Mark II as a birth year watch.

    It is within the ball park of a '72, so not far behind you :)

    Well wear!
