What do you all think about birth year watches?

What do you all think about birth year watches?

I just got a birth year speedy myself. So I would say..go for it. It also sounds like a valid reason to get something new

What do you all think about birth year watches?

I assume a “birth year watch” means getting a watch which was launched the same year as you were born?

I believe it’s manufactured around your birth year

For most people, it would be the year the watch is dated as it is meaningful to see the cert having same birth year (old card). Previously, I had the opportunity to buy one bearing the same month and day..lol

No wonder my AD surprised me; DJ allocated on the same DOB as me during 2022 but too bad, I was overseas. very thoughtful of my AD.

But have to change the issued date to my date of return..

different thoughts of meaningful though

 

[raidorz]

I saw an Explorer I on Chrono24 with my birth year. Very tempting…

Sometimes the dealer in chrono24 can work out tourist rebate for the deal lol

For sure can. Even those fixed price ones, I always bargain and most of the time they will give some.

You immediately bring to where to authenticate? Chrono24 provides escrow service in case it's fake right? Have you deal with Japanese dealers before? Their prices seem lower.

 

[official_t_atelier]

I dealt with Japanese dealer whom I knew from chrono24 however we did not use the platform to deal instead he gave me tourist rebate for it. It was in 2020 and I paid in full and susposed to fly there to pickup. Due to covid, Japan was locked down and the watch was with shop for more than 2 years. Eventually when international shipping is available, he shipped over to me foc and I am impressed at the QC and trustworthiness as the watch appreciated in value over the 2 years. He has a personal report on the watch as well with the usual cards etc.
If through chrono24, they have escrow service however only dealers accounts are guaranteed. If they are private sellers, return/authentic are not guaranteed.
For local authentication, the most common is uncle lim at top hour lucky plaza.
