Vintage Question
I am sure this has been answered, but I cant to find the answer. What makes a Rolex Vintage? Is it the age of the watch? Is it the discontinued model? Is it the # of that model made?

I believe it's the age.....25+ years is considered vintage I think. Definitely not going by just the discontinued models....I have a 16613 from 2008....it's not vintage by any means

Well most watches pre sapphire crystal and without the gold surround markers on sports models would be considered vintage mostly pre 1988/9 or older.
