It seems to me that the set of conforming sequences goes out to 08:09:10 on 11:12:13.

These are 2-digit years, so the cycle occurs once each century rather than once each millenium.

There are a few folks around who were born early in the 20th century. Some will survive a few more years. So it's perhaps a 10+ times in a lifetime event.
