Why should somebody want a 1984 car?
The only cars i want from 1984 are Honda’s, but i like from any year Honda’s.
More bad, nineties cars.
Which i like are from 2001 till today.
Older cars are more separate over the years, like a BMW 5 series from 1987, Fiat 131 from 1980, Honda S2000 from 2000, Honda NSX from 1992, Porsche 911 from 2012, LaFerrari from 2018, Citroën DS 23 from 1972, Dodge Challenger from 2006, Chrystler Satelite from 1970, Chevrolet Impala 59, AMC Javelin, Porsche 928, Ford 34.
No birth year and birthday watch for me. I like my birth year, but i have no clue why i must like things and products more that where produced in my birth year?
Things are just things, family, pets and health comes first.

Finally have a birth year watch.. VC QP 43031

For nearly a decade, I have had romantic notions of embarking on the quest to find an appropriate birth year watch. At long last... I think I can put an end to this. The year in question is 1984 -- and since my interest in watches started from the Submari...
1984!

My birth year as well, so I am massively biased coming into this conversation . What a phenomenal piece from VC, I couldn't imagine a better choice myself.... And yes, I totally agree with you that the sublime skeletonized version would truly be a grail f...

I'd pick that as well

Definitely a sucker for a nice VC. Birth year is intriguing, I had wanted a birth year porsche 930 but not sure I want the hassle of an old turbo 🤷♂️
So wait, you bought two 1984 VC Perpetual Calendars?

Congrats! Now, make sure you get a birth year case of nice wine (probably a case of nice Californian Cabernet Sauvignon Napa wine and a nice French Bordeaux First Growth wine). Some people who are really into cars even try to get a birth year car (one fri...
I wish!

VC 43032 belongs to a friend; had the good fortune of trying it on Q3 last year. It cemented my opinion that it wore a little bit better than the AP 25657/8 which has shorter lugs). I don't really drink wine, so that would be wasted on me, but cars... I l...
No worries on the wine!

I see you like McLaren. All I can say is that I really like the Lamborghini Huracan - so easy to drive, so reliable, and thrilling sound. As for cars - not a lot of cars I'd want from 1984 personally. Ferrari Testarossa? A Lamborghini Countach is probably...
Ahh! A stunning choice!

Yes, the 930 era is very nice. Although rear engined cars are definitely tricky to drive sometime. I still don't know how to drive them properly, and when someone shows me how to take a corner, I still have that instinct that he's stepping on the gas way ...
stunning

Thank you very much!
By: n0wjsti : April 8th, 2023-16:37
And yes the skeletonized version is phenomenal, even the one from AP is fantastic! ...

I appreciate the kind comment!

An unorthodox choice, given what I currently have in the watchbox, but I am very glad I made this step!
congrats on choice a lovely 43031

given ref first released by VC late 83 i think finding any platinum version 43031 or 43032 from 84 going to be a big challenge given such as small proportion of production back then. most complications in 80s even really until mid to late 90s people wante...
