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 years specified owned by members of the OF Community.

Rules for posting

- watches from all brands are allowed, as long as they are from the years specified
- 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 in this period!

Hello, This one is from 1967. Bought on OF almost 6 years ago. I was looking for a birth year of 1966, but not able to find one, so I went with one from 1967. 24.539.xxx serial.
