Birth Year Watch
Wife and I had our first child (a son) 7 weeks ago. Been thinking about a birth year watch for a while and settled on this beauty. Called a ton of ADs in my city and explained but it was the same story: none available, quick sellers, not sure when the nex...
Congratulations to you and your wife on your newborn
May she live a healthy happy and long life. Congrats on your new watch too, it looks great, enjoy!
I do have a question, but I wanted to clarify if I understand correctly…
a birth year watch is a specific piece that was produced on one’s birth year (as opposed to the original release date of the model, which can be years before). But how do you check for that production date at the AD? Does the AD go through all the papers ...
Well dating a watch depends on the era...
For older pieces, there are many references online, especially for Rolex and Tudor that will date the year of manufacturing (approx. but overall fairly accurately) based on the serial number. Since 2002 Rolex and Tudor have gone with random serial numbers...
Double congratulations !!!!
For getting the watch and having a gorgeous family 👪 ! Enjoy it
Congratulations on both, very happy for you
That’s a beautiful family. You picked a great watch. One that will be safe around toddlers and can take some real life wear. You should perhaps give it to her when she’s an adult. I love my Pelagos. It’s so light and comfortable. I feel it’s one of the ve...

Big congratulations to you and
your wife on the birth of your son and great idea with the birth year watch. It’s great to hear that you went into the dealer and found the watch, ‘chance favours the brave!’. It’s a great looking watch. Best D.
Thanks Derek - thing is, it wasn't even in the display case.
It was in the back, so either saving it for the "right customer" or it was truly a fresh delivery.
One happy and lovely family!
Congratulations on the arrival of your son! Blessings to you all, Alex Ps. Awesome intuition from the salesperson, btw!
Thanks Alex, I explained the notion on the phone but I think..
Sales reps have heard it all given the watch shortage (which may turn to a surplus given interest rates..). I think seeing my family may have tipped the scales of fortune in my favor!
Congratulations on both new additions to your family.
Great story thanks for sharing. They grow so fast and is a great passion to share. ...
Thanks Bill - family truly is everything!
Thanks for sharing these special pictures, hope to be able to take similar ones myself in the years to come
