Mine came about by coincidence and was in no way intentional. I’d been looking a couple of years for a 1680 Red when I found the perfect watch for me in terms of condition and patina. It just happened to be a 71 which is my birth year, I do find the idea of birth year watches a bit pointless and would advise anyone to take time to hunt for the very best example of the model watch they are looking for rather than limit themselves to the much smaller pool of birth year watches.
