Any suggestion for anything produced in 1978?
Hello All-
I decided my next purchase will be something produced in my birth year which is 1978. Any recommendations/suggestions so I can get my research on? And.....of course I did some goggle research. I'm thinking Rolex but I'm open to other brand recommendations as well. Thanks in advance. |

I'm on the hunt for the same thing, same year :)
I chose the versatility of the 1675 as my choice. Good luck! |

I always found the small crown of the Gmt to be disappointing. Over time the red and blue Gmt strikes me as the king of the hill.

I thought I posted already but I don't see it.
Tudor 9411 gets my vote. |

I also have a 1680 from 1978 (a bit too young for my birth year however!)

My Sea Dweller is from 77/78, but if this is going to be your first vintage I'd go with a GMT.
