Happy Mutual Birthday! I got you beat by 25 years. Later today I'll change over to my birth year watch too:
The whole Speedmaster thing has become a little obsessional for some in recent years, and it feels like many but a Speedmaster because they feel they “have to have one”, rather than because they just like the watch. 16 years ago last week, I fell in love with this Speedmaster, and have been through quite a lot with it. University, marriage, divorce, a ton of international travel, a redundancy, the creation of Time 4A Pint... oh and cleaning up cat vomit from the kitchen floor this morning. There’s a lot of feeling that flows both ways about this watch model, but this one is mine, I love it, and wear it often.
