Need a vintage birth year watch... 1980

[BluePurpleRed]

The next watch I am looking to add to the collection is a birth year watch. I was born in 1980. I already have a Seiko 5, Astroavia and a Tag Carrera ( all in Black.. oops )

So what would your suggestions be?

Done.

Nice. Caught up with an old mate last night and he has one, never used to like them but seeing ne in the flash made me reconsider. However I just exchanged on a house yesterday so will now have to impose a budget of £500 max. Makes it more difficult, sorry! I was thinking something more out there, and lesser known like a PolJot?

1980's......vintage? God, I must be getting old.

Can't we call 80's watches retro? It'll make me feel better

Ha! I meant vintage as in not 2nd hand.. older! 30 years older ! ;P

When I think of retro watches I think of a new watch with a retro style, and lots of weird casios with calculator functions!

Any more ideas on a Sub £500 19080's watch? I was thinking ex Helicopter Pilot Seiko Chronograph may be worth a shout. I think they are quartz though, but that doesn't bother me so much as the military issue part will bump up the interest factor ;P

Are you on TZ?

I have a very nice Zenith Port Royal quartz from around 1980 that is available..

I'd love to be on TZ... if they actually allowed new people to sign up.
