Incoming! Birth year watches!

I’d been hunting for a birth year watch for awhile. For some reason, my searches seem to come in pairs (like my red subs last year). In the past week, I found a birth year sub and a birth year GMT. Both with, what I consider, great patina. The sub is in need of a serious cleaning and movement service.
