My 1962 Seamaster

My 1962 Seamaster De Ville

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.

Some would argue that a Rolex is just an over-priced one of these.

1974.

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.

1985

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'm thinking about getting a 16570 from my birth year. But I'd need to liquidate my connie and my polerouter to buy one.

Still searching for my affordable birth year watch, from 1971.

Close enough to 1971 by the time it was put together and sold.

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.

You mean there are NO MORE WATCHES OF ANY TYPE FROM 1966? 😲 OMFG! 😵‍💫 🙁

I gave up on finding a 1966 speedy. And I would love to have a breguet type xx or fifty fathoms from 1966, but this is even less realistic.

1957 was a great year for classics.

My '72. Finally got it back on the original bracelet after correcting the significant stretch.

Forgot about this one. It looks like I feel sometimes.
