1675 was birth year all along!
Hi all,
Managed to take the back off my '1971' 1675 the other day, and it turns out it is stamped 'II 72' and I was born in May, 1972. I knew there was something about that watch! Happy Monday wherever you are! |

Great! But why did you think your GMT was from 1971 in the first place? Just based on the serial number? Even the "good" serial-number charts are just approximations anyway.

Good for you and it's a lovely watch. Even better now you know you were both made the same year
