Belated happy birthday my friend....Looks like you have been spoilt.

thanks - I enjoyed reading that.
I’ve got a 1989 Zenith Daytona, and a 197x Day Date, and love them both... I actually wish I had bought two when I bought my Daytona, as they seem to have rocketed in value
Do itI feel like staying up until midnight on the 31st just to watch all the hands flyback

Thats what Steve said on The Repair Shop , you can't overwind a mechanical movementI thought overwinding was a myth. After all, once the spring is compressed (against itself), there's nowhere else for it to go, but I'm not a horologist!
Very nice though. Takes a licking, keeps on ticking
There's a photo of my box somewhere. I may need to take another one.

If that is a Sea Dweller 4000 they have rocketed in value because of the short production run and because the new Sea Dweller has the date magnifier which has put a lot of traditionalists off
Wearing my Daytona this month. I try to rotate all my mechanical watches so they all get used for a month at least each year. Sept will be the Heuer Monaco as it’s Le MansI’m not a Rolex fan boy, but I own one and love it and have to admit my all time favourite is the Daytona. I know Rolex splits opinions at times.

Not for us in Oz.Why not wear them normally? Isn‘t telling the time a bit tricky when the face is upside down?

You can break the winder though.
Snap, although not sure my daughter will wear the SD or Speedy when I’m goneIt’s the very one. I bought around the sept and then is it March or April they do Basel world and the day after all of my examples were snapped up.
It was a return for the sea dweller after a few years absence and apparently it didn’t sell hugely, until it was discontinued so that also impacted in that it didn’t sell in sub numbers etc.
It’s a keeper for me though will be passed on to my boys along with my speedmaster
