·My Rolex Air-King Date. One owner (me), won it in a Rolex sales contest in 1970. Updated with a NOS Rolex 14-karat gold bezel to celebrate 50 years (golden anniversary) of ownership, earlier in 2021.

Always interesting to see things like this, just goes to show that you can't go by the websites that date your Speedy etc. based on movement serial number as that one would have been comfortably within '69 going by the serial.
I'd love to get extracts for a couple of mine but can never face the outlay(plus my wife would kill when I tell her what the money was spent on).

If I use https://www.ilovemyspeedmaster.com/productiondateprediction/ for the Mark II it actually says May 1970 which is pretty good I would say.

··ΩF InvestiGatorMaybe 71 in that case?
Seiko did make some of these in 1970.

·Haha yes for the Seamaster I posted today I thought it could also have been 1969.

Very interesting indeed. I always thought my own Mk2 was 1969 going by the serial number, but using the site you link to above comes back as June 1971(makes sense as mine is in the 316xxxxx range so a good bit higher than yours). Might spoil myself some day and get an extract, especially as that watch has established itself as a definite keeper at this point.
