Okay, I know not everyone will have one or want one but what is your favourite?

I cheated and went for this instead, it helped that it was a piece I lusted after in any case, although I'd still like to find a nice watch from what was clearly a classic year! :yes: :biggrin:

Same here. Born in '57 too so an original Speedmaster is well out of the question. On my 60th a few years ago, I settled for a Speedmaster '57.

Just get a Flickr account or subscribe to a gallery membership here @Chris 810 and share the pics.

Just sold my birth year Patek Philippe, bought more with the heart than the head. So now the search starts again to replace that.

That would be perfect for me too. 61 was a good year [emoji5]

I am actively looking for a 1967 Rolex Air King, but a good one.

I have seen a few on Chrono2 4, but they weren't quite right.

This would be nice.

Thanks to Rolex Passion Market for the pic.
I got a 1964 precision for the wife's birth year but she doesn't like manual wind so she now has a 1990 op which happens to be my eldest daughters birth year
