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 1960-1964, owned by members of the OF Community. Rules for posting - watches from all brands are allowed, as long as they are from this period. - 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 from 1960-64!

Rolex 5513, dated by inside of case-back. Actually, it's a humorous one, the well-known error case-back that indicates the 6th quarter of 1966, a.k.a. 666 case-back.
1966? Just under the wire in December of '66. Swapped out the rusted and painted hands not long ago . . .
