Any '90s folk here?

I find it interesting how this hobby attracts young and old. Anyone here born in the '90s. I feel like we are newbies compared to some that have been collecting since the '70s/'80s and longer.

Not born in the 90s, but remember them well.  I can't say I became a collector until about 5 years ago though.  It's funny, but this really is an older crowd.  This is the only group I've been a part of in a long time where I didn't feel like I was one of the older people.  That said, there's a good bit of humor and fun going on here as well.

80's kid here. So I'm fairly young in the watch collecting world. I have been collecting since the late 00's and I feel like a newb a lot of the time. 

Late 70's born, raised in the 80's and 90's. Got into watches during the 90's. Then watch hiatus for other life matters. Back again.

Uhhhh 96. I feel you there…

95 here.

89 here, pretty close to 90 😂

·

I was just thinking this the other day. 
As a fellow 90s baby, As I start feeling old in other areas of life, the Watch community I feel relatively young. 😅

·

90s represent! I was born in 92 and only started collecting seriously this year

·

The 60's for me, I'm old enough to be your dad, that said I could be. Where did you say you lived again, I could of been there at some time in my drug fuelled youth 🤣

Yup, you could be (sorry). Both my folks were born 61. Unless you knocked about New England for a time in the 90s and looked and acted EXACTLY like my dad, I think you are ok. I did not fall far from the tree haha.

SORRY!😬 I expected this type of response. Lol  I'm I still one of those "damned kids"? 😁

Born in 79 and felt disrespected when they began to open “90s theme bars” and it felt retro. 🍹🤣

·

Late 80's here, but only been really into watches last couple of years.

·

I got a letter from Gerald Ford congratulating me on my bicentennial birth. So there. 🫤

Wow, a lot of peopling our age group on here… I honestly didn’t expect that. This makes me extremely happy! And what a great idea for a thread!

·

1990 and proud! Unfortunately 1990 Rolex Explorers are freaking expensive… whats your birth year grails?

·

Mid-90s.

·

As my username says, '85 here. Grew up seeing Casios and Seikos from older siblings and magazines at the airports. 

·

Well I feel old now, 1968 for me, the 90's were great times .

I'm born in 93 and have a bulova from 79, always amuses me when I go around with a watch that has been on this earth longer than I have 😆

·

'92 here so I understand the sentiment, although it does seem we're in the middle now haha. 

·

Born in 81 and I still don't know much about watches. Like that song said, "I don't know much but I know I love you."

That's class right there.

'69 couldn't  be a better year. I know for sure there were really good Casio watches  in the 80s and 90s!

·

1993 here! Been wearing a watch since I was 12. A Puma quartz thing that was ruined by a cruise ship hottub.

If you look anything like this, there is the possibility we are related 🤣

I had a puma digital when I was 15/16! Hiked some of the Alps with that bad boy.

95 here. I've had a watch on my wrist since 2003, but really only took collecting seriously last year.
