Collectors like connection to their collections. It’s about sentiment.

Just another way to connect to the watch , just like a special event or memory in your life. Chill bro.

Only makes sense if you get to for the birth year of your child otherwise it’s just like those girls that say they have a birthday week

Hi_jknvm :
Why are you so angry. Let people have fun. They want to buy the watch for their own reason…that’s okay. You don’t have to do it

Years are important/special/sentimental to people. The year I was born (2000) will always be a special year to me. I proposed to my now fiance this year so 2026 will always be a special year to me. I think most people who do this aren’t getting a watch just because of the year. It’s usually a watch they like anyways and having it be produced on their birth year is a nice touch. The “connection” is not solely the year imo. I don’t think anyone’s entire collection is birth year. Can just be a nice addition to a collection.

We the only animals with knowledge of time. I think it’s kind of cool to have something that started ticking when you did.

I love your content but how you cannot understand the appeal behind a birth year watch is beyond me.

It’s fun to hunt for it and gives you an extra way to connect to a piece you already like. It’s not that deep lol.

At this point I really try to just buy a watch for milestone events, work related, birth of child, major birthday....a birth year watch is a bit of a loop hole that can be bought anytime, still looking for one although I am being particular I won't buy something simply because its birth year but if its a model id like and birth year id pull the trigger. Although a birth year exact birth date dated card might make a exemption

I think it’s cool to understand the style of watch when you were born.

usually, people are not watch dealers. Nor, perspective investors in watches. So when they finally make that one large purchase for a watch, it means a little something different.

Shane Hickenlooper :
so why buy any watch? They are already over priced and not worth the money. The reason you pay more for legacy/luxury brands is because of history and branding. That’s all a birth year is as well

I am considering getting a “birth year” for my 40th bday next year… for me, it will be finding something I like and knowing it is 40-ish years old. I like the idea of having something on my wrist that is as old as me… shows the craftsmanship for something that complex to keep ticking

I happened to find an omega 2531.80 with papers dated on my exact birthday. Got it to celebrate my 21st. To each their own I guess?
