1075? Oldest vintage on record - best hide on to that or expect a bunch of PMs

Ha! ... no from the trade. This vintage hobby started from there though. I'll end up with no other possessions at this rate! and just to let you know ... birth year watches cost more when you're older!

Always wanted a 69st speedy to go with my red sub. It's time to revive this thread.



I blame it on the autoconnect.

Love this thread. I put up my 68 transitional Speedy earlier, but don't think I included my Milgauss.

Other than a little political upheaval in the states and a war in Asia, December 1968 was a pretty good year for me.

I have thought about acquiring a birth year watch, 1983, but not sure if I want an explorer II, sub, or GMT. They all seem to be going up in value and I don't want to break the bank to own a "novelty" piece.
