How close did your birth year watch get?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Missed by a year about 9 -12 months with the watch being newer. Best guess with what was known at the time though.

·I have three that are birth year. But that’s as close as I got. All are seikos. At some point I’ll start hunting for an omega of that year.

·I'm torn on this. I've been eyeing a birth year (1985) 5513, but I'd much prefer a matte dial from '83 and earlier. First world problems.

·This Speedy is from my birth year, 1977, but several months away from my birth month:
This Seiko though is from my birth month and year, June 1977:

·I think if you found the Year is great.
Year and month = champagne
Year+month+date= call Tom cruise for that, but hey never loose faith!!

·Bought this 145.022 thinking it was 1979 (birth year). Serial number range said it was 79. Got an extract a year or so later and found out it was originally sold in 78. Didn't care already created a close relationship with it! Love it anyway, it will always be my first Speedy!

·The first Speedmaster was born the year after I was, so that’s an impossible goal, and I’m not on a mission to find anything from 1956.
Just about anything from 1956 is now way more valuable than I am. I probably couldn't afford something built in 1956, be it a watch, car, motorcycle, guitar (especially a guitar), or whatever...
Oh, well... I gave a lot more thought to this kind of thing when I was younger.

··I don't see any option in settings or profileI guess I need an extract from the Ω Archives to settle the production date, but the year 1957 is OK. I don't consider birth year watches that interesting, but I am in fact rather pleased that this watch matches it.

·An OF member was recently selling his 1986 (February) moonwatch, which would be within a week or two of my birthday - and I missed out on it, but maybe next time.

··@ ΩFJust buy watches, and sooner or later ones a birth year. Think I have 2 or 3 now. Don’t really care that much about birth year watches.

·Great idea - unfortunately I was born at a time where Omega had a bit of a dip. 🤔
