    We all have some sort of interest and/or personal link to a specific year. Might be your birth year, the year you got engaged/married, got a child, or the year where happened an event that is somehow special to you.

    Besides your special event, there is no doubt that lots of different watches were produced that year.

    I often see people asking for help to :

    - find a specific watch model from a specific year
    - assess the variety of watches produced on a specific year

    The purpose of this thread is to log photographs and details of different watches from the year 1978 owned by members of the OF Community.

    Rules for posting

    - watches from all brands are allowed, as long as they are from the year 1978
    - if you don't have any evidence to claim the year (extract from archives or sales papers), please do mention #estimated
    - if you own evidences to claim the year, please do mention #confirmed and please elaborate on evidences available (extract from archives or sales papers) posting evidences is not mandatory
    - it is obvious that a watch can be produced on a specific date confirmed by an extract from archives, or sold on a specific date confirmed by sales papers. To simplify, both are admitted here, please do elaborate on your references
    - commenting is obviously allowed and encouraged, OF etiquette highly recommended

    Let's make of this thread an EPIC collection of watches produced or sold in 1978 !
