New or birth year?

Can't answer that one. The sub came out after I did.

If you can get it, go for your birth year.

As mentioned already in another thread I went birth year
 Luckily I'm old enough to get this. I doubt I'll be saying that in another 20 years though

I find it's easier to lie about my birth year. I tell anyone who asks that my 1978 5513 sub is from my birth year. Which makes me pushing 31 now.

Birth year for me!
I am in the hunt for a birth year Sub and it takes patience. The only new or newer Sub I will buy are the LV and the possible introduction of the new Sub at this year's or next year's Basel. |

With my birth year (1947) I went a little crazy.
I bought an Omega, Rolex, Patek, Baume & Mercier, Leonidas, Doxa and some 15 other lesser known "dead" design wise wristwatches. A nice vintage collection is nice, also one or two from your birth year. After that concetrate your efforts into current and beautifull watches. |
