Which models were made in 1973
I was born in 1973 and like many others Id like to try to get a watch from the year of my birth to add to the collection.
Which models were made in 73 and which if any were "Unique" ie very very pricey so I know to not get my hopes up there haha. I do not want a Date Just I know that for certain... Id like an Explorer perhaps..... Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions and ideas as to price ranges and where to look? Thank you!

Great idea ,
1973 - I think you have to go for 1680 Sub

Turn O Graph's are out there, too.
Especially if you like smaller 36mm watches. |

Springer, I already have a beautiful 67 GMT :) and I do enjoy it now.
I may look at an Explorer 1016 (they were made in 73 weren't they?), perhaps prices may be reasonable for one. 1655, yeah WAY more than Id be looking to spend currently. King Midas would be WAY out of my range as would a SD most likely, Already have a nice Sub ND and just not a fan of the sub date (detest the cyclops) TOG is too much like a DJ and I just have never been a fan of the TOG. Don't know why but I just do not feel the love for it.

Yeah, the Explorer and Explorer II were both made in '73.

Also Air-Kings of course
Mine was made the year of my birth, and it's cool to say "This watch is as old as I am" and each birthday that statment becomes more impressive.
