The final birth year watch has landed ! I now have one from each month of 1965. A BIG PUBLIC THANK YOU goes to Mike (Pollythecat) for sorting out the second hand and crown.  6220-9970 Skyliner from May 1965   [/url] I just need to find a 19mm vintage strap that suits it. Will do a group shot tomorrow when the light is better. |

Nice looking Skyliner - congrats!
Is this something you were chasing, or just a happy coincidence?
I understand birth month watch, but why a birth-year watch for every month?

Congrats.
That one has a great dial and the blue 30 in water proof adds a nice contrast.

This one was a happy coincidence. Came from Saitama in Japan. He is an excellent seller and always sells top quality stuff (witness some of the watches Thomas has bought !). It arrived with the second hand detached and, fortunately, stuck to the inside of the crystal. I got a partial refund and Mike agreed to fix it and replace the non original crown for me. As for the idea of a set ? Blame Jim1963 !!  |

Here's the one you've all been waiting for (Okay, Okay, the one I've been wanting to show off   Thanks go to Mike (PollyC) for gifting me March, and repairing May and August. To Josh (CDGod) for agreeing to sell me Jan (and a "spare" Feb), and to Mr Saitama for supplying Feb, May and Nov, and for being a generally honourable gentleman. EDIT: Forgot that Mike also sorted out the Jan and Spare Feb 6619s too. Oh, and to Jim (Jimmy1963) for planting the seed. 7dfe79adc2f0 Oh dear, I have duplicates for Feb and July. Perhaps I should start all over again. |
