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
