SF240

[Yoda]

I serviced an SF240 movement today and noticed that it was marked 11.56, the very month and year I was born.

I would like to have a movement with these markings in my watch!

That is really something special.
But they say that a date of birth on a movement/watch is not a good choice. Movements due to its mechanical nature tend to stop for some reason and some people treat it as a bad sign. Too mystic and metaphysical, but who knows.

It's special nonetheless! You can always engrave the movement yourself. Not the same but hey

my father back in 1972 bought a Rolex GMT Master for $550 at the Miami AD .... decades later I have it in my possession .... and until several months ago, I opened the caseback ... and read the stamped year on the caseback is the same years of my birth!

crazy .... so I own a birth year watch ... I was pretty shocked, because when he bought the watch and the stamping in the caseback are several years apart!

[TimemiT]

that would probably be an Incabloc or Incastar SF240?

that's a keeper!

Don't we wish that coincidence is the 300 million lottery.
