Occasionally see requests for what could be a birth year watch.
I'll kick off with mine and if others would like to join in it may just help some in their quest. (Don't think this has been done before ?)

1950 2495 16, cal.265

 

Great idea! And a fantastic condition watch. Is it not nice to see well one ages?

 

Ooooo, I gots lotsa watches from 1966! If it was made in my birthyear it's just one more excuse to buy it.

I'd post pictues except PhotoFuckit is acting up again.

 

Sure puts me to shame

 

I was born the year NASA made it to the moon. A 1969 321 caliber is high on my list.
Will have to dig something out of the box for this thread

 

This is mine 1960 which is one of the primary reasons that I needed to have this one no matter what.

I thought Omega stopped using the 321 in 1968?

 

it is claimed they did supply a few also in 1969. My 105.003 is confirmed with production date January 68. Much later than I was expecting finding a 003.
Time will tell!

 

Looks like Photobucket is up now.

Pretty sure I had a few more too that have long since been moved on.

 

Still in search of a birth year watch. And that would be 1961 if anyone's interested.

 

ulackfocus - like your style.

Hey, just checking ... are you ready to let go that 1966 JLC Memovox? Let me know ...

E, are you serious - no 1961 men's watches in your box? Dude, we gotta do something about that!

I have 4 myself - 2 Longines, a Piaget, and the Eterna Centenaire. You need at least one!

 

1947 was a big year for my parents. I found a "1947" Omega some years ago so this is my birthyear watch.

Last year in Paris we were rushing to get changed to go to dinner at Le 58 Tour Eiffel and as I was struggling to get my trousers on the belt buckle smashed the crystal. I was a bit cross about that


With original crystal



With an emergency crystal I had in my spares



As it is today

Gator it sounds like you and I need to plan a covert visit to Dennis's to relieve him of some of his 61 heavy collection!
We can use a two pronged assault...A western and southern approach. He'll never see Us coming.

 

Big year for mine too, Jim! So...

1947 Bulova 'Duncan'

 

Here's my 1969 Seamaster cal. 750. Used to have the 751 chronometer variant as well. It would take A LOT for me to ever part with this:
