I recently started to look for a birth year watch, and as I have not yet done the Rolex thing I am drawn to a 69 Sub or GMT.

However I am yet to see a single 1969 model of either a Sub or a GMT.

Is this because of the Red Sub dates of manufacture ?, or is there some other reason.

(which obviously does not explain the lack of GMTs from 69)

The quest goes on...............

I was about to say I have a '69 gmt available but I've just checked and it's 68!
Just keep looking, one will crop up, if its a birth year rolex you're after then better off getting one that's exactly what you desire, ie right patina or refurbed etc depending what you want!
