(birth year) watch

[triton]

found a 6694 bearing my birth year, bought it. click here for pictures

I have similar thoughts too, found a 1978 6694 with paper but I didn't buy because I find it too small for my wrist.

sometimes if want to get one, really have to pay a little premium.

Only thing is that the price doesn't match what I'm willing to pay

matching birth date is pretty hard to find. let alone matching your NRIC.

would you be able to provide brand/model/price of watch?

Its a vintage Precista and it was in the high $2k.

i will be keen to get a rolex of my birth year, if my pocket allows..
will feel good to be wearing a watch that is as old as you, and will age with you.

I was aiming those with the serial numbers matching the year of production. I understand this might not be very accurate but close one eye can accept. I don't want something that's recorded on the papers as bought in that year but serial number don't match. For example, 1977 should be 5million series, so something in the 5.4-5.6 million range should be rather safe? I won't get something in 4.99million series that was recorded/sold to the pre-owner in 1977.

Based on my criteria, I've found several but size and price sometimes don't match my fancy.

Was even thinking of going Seiko... 1977 divers look good. and are big. and are not as expensive as Rolex watches!

say for rolex, usually a particular model says it is produced between a particular period. so how to know it is one''s birth year? based on serial number to do estimate?

It will be really awesome to have a watch matching your NRIC

But then, I've seen a watch at matches my year of birth and the serial number matches my NRIC. Only thing is that the price doesn't match what I'm willing to pay

I prefer to get the exact vintage model that was produced in the birth year.

I've been looking for a Rolex that matches my year of birth but find it a little hard to date. There doesn't seem to be a definitive guide of when the watch was made. Different sites provide different numbers.

now that you are interested in watches, will you get a preown watch with warranty card that has date aka the year that matches your birth year?

for those who born in the 60s & 70s, it may be pretty tough.

anyone got experience to share?
