Birth year thread. Show yours.
I think that birth year watches are unique to vintage collecting. Here is the place to show off yours. Let me start. My MF redsub.

Wow, some great pieces. I've done a few searches here and there for something for 1973. It seems like whenever I look every year has options except my birth year. Kind of frustrating.
