    Hi guys,
    I have been looking for a birthyear watch for a while, was hoping for a Speedmaster but i found this early 16030 Datejust with serial 5,73X,XXX, which dated it to 1978 and couldn't resist :D
    So maybe 2 birth year watches in the future one dress and one Speedy...hard to stick as plan ::facepalm2::
    Here is a few pictures, hope i did ok and you guys enjoy it :thumbsup:

    Cheers

    Nice pick up.

    My birth year Tudor Advisor 7924 and Precision 6224s say hi. A bit older though. ;)
