After purchasing my SD in 2005 - started planning for the next purchase & started to appreciate the beauty of vintage pieces through forums such as this one & VRF. Being a novice & the vintage market being a mine field- decided to purchase my 1680 & 1665 from a dealer with a stellar reputation. For me the premium was worth the piece of mind

I agree. The "birth year" hype is a dealer marketing tool that has gone mainstream. I don't get it either. As mentioned - condition should be the priority when buying any watch, let alone a vintage watch.
