    Roman markers are classic and nobody mixed metals better than Ebel. (There are all-steel and all-gold versions, but not as easy to find, especially all-steel).

    But in any case if you you were born in 1986, that’s the hand you’re dealt.

    More than 500 characters worth of watches.

    This is my “maybe” birth year watch. I was born in 62 but I’m not so sure about the watch.

    The irony is that I sold you my *maybe* birth year watch, and before that it was Kath's *maybe* birth year watch. 1962-3-4... who's counting? I have a few others from the late '50s and mid '60s... close enough.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Another 69’er here, bought a Speedy for my 50th.

    Actually my mate and I bought ”twins” at the same time, we share birthyears and first names.
