1985 watches in preparation for my 40th (got a few years yet), and came across this today:
Just in case you haven't thought of this, buying any sentimental items that will be 40yo from 2024-25 will have a hefty premium. Equally not many people will be selling them from ~2021-ish.
Also be willing to be a bit flexible on the year as any "year" is always a bit vague.

That's why I've started looking already, I'm hoping before 2024 I see something I really want and buy it in advance.
I've got my Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage (wedding present), G Shock, Gold Seamaster day/date (80s), Rolex OP (80s), Citizen day/date dive beater that I'm probably going to move on, so I'm thinking I want a birth year auto chrono. I also have a quartz Seiko chrono I got for my 15th birthday so while I rarely wear it, it was my first watch I wore day in day out that wasn't an Argos £15 Casio special.

I irregularly browse Chrono 24, eyeing up 1985 watches in preparation for my 40th (got a few years yet), and came across this today:

No box, no papers, not really mint, but still seems cheap at £800ish. No idea of values tbh, but other Heuer chronos seems to go for 2k mark and this is titanium too so I'm surprised. Unloved case shape?
