(birth year) watch

[triton]

to look for your birth year rolex takes abit of luck.

there are a few ways that you can do it.

1) post it in this forum's WTB section and list the details you want
2) go to any preown watch shop that you know well and tell them what you want. they may or may not have the stock. if no stock, tell them to keep a look out for you and contact you if there is one.
3) look through ebay, etc on your own.

Interesting idea. Haha

I've been looking for a 84 sub or explorer 1. How does one go about obtaining one from so long ago? Is there some specific shops which specialise in this? Or a list of forums where people specially trade old rolexes? Or through eBay, etc?

Thanks!

I was born in 84 too... but i'd never wear a watch that old... sorry if i ... paiseh..

I was born in 1973. I wonder whether there are still rolex watches that old around.

[triton]

there are still rolex with that year of production around.

depends on what model
depends on whether you want just watch only or with box and papers
depends on condition.

Interesting to find watch of your own birth year

[peachmuffin]

Wow, I think this is a very interesting idea. Sort of like my father trying to collect wine from my birth year so he can open them when I get married.

[markiwc]

any significant one from 1988?

[galaxy_convoy]

Precision Watches lists the year of manufacture of their watches (Rolex).

I'm on the look out for a 1979 DateJust as well.

Even old camera lens. i was hunting for some lens that of same age as me.

I think depends on age lor, some age harder to find =) Lots of people here collect vintage stuff... I remember seeing a vintage camera collector in the forum pages.
