My son's 1998 birth-year Speedy Date below. He gave it back to me after I gave him his dream watch - a birth year 1998 SMP Bond Quartz (with a matching 1998 SMP Bond Quartz for me to wear with him, thanks to WatchVaultNYC.
I gave up on finding my exact year (1966), and settled for this from 1967. You can tell by the picture I don't wear it very often, as I grabbed the latest pic in my photo album.
Sweet! I am a 1985 too and this is my only birth year watch. Thought about adding a 1985 Sub but already have a 14060m and can’t justify owning two of the same watch (wife would not understand). And the extract dates my Speedy to april 4th 1985. Two and a half months before I was born.
I still don't have a birth year watch (1973) but came very close two or three years ago when I agreed a deal with someone for a box, papers & bracelets (both correct ones for the watch!) Heuer Montreal sold four days before the day I was born. I was gutted when the seller went quiet.
