    Hello all, it's my birthday today, and I'm 35.
    As such, id like to suggest a slight twist on WRUW (or not)...
    In a bid to live out my fantasies on the cheap, and through others, post your pics of your fanciest 1982 watch!

    1982 I don't have, would 1980 do?

    Accutron quartz dive watch with depth gauge.

    Hmmm..... while the example I own is from 1985, this was released to the world in 1982:

    Happy birthday for yesterday! 1982 was a glorious year with many excellent men born that year.

    To answer your request - my 1982 Speedmaster and Seiko turtle from December 1982 (the month I was born)

    So close, yet so far... ;-) that would age me two years. Don't feel like I can afford to do that!

    Many happy returns of the day, Hamster!

    Sorry, no 1980s watches from me.

    Strangely I was talking to a seller in the US on eBay who had one of these a couple of months ago - that's sold now - but there is a quartz version with a reduced bracelet on there now: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEUER-MEN...055115?hash=item3616d1630b:g:0RAAAOSw5UZY80G-Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I think his price is a little strong for the quartz but they come along so infrequently that the price really is what someone's willing to pay. He's also right when he says that it's rare to find a bracelet in such good condition, even if it is reduced.

    Thanks for sharing this jimmy. It's pretty tempting! My wife hates you though ;-)
