hhmm good question..
I would probably consider the late brushed SS Daytonas (80's) as modern vintage. So 25 years? |

When it's replacement value is a joke compared to its collectors value.

How about four digit model number?
I don't think I would consider anything from the 1980's as vintage. I am wearing this now, a bit over twenty years old, and I wouldn't consider it vintage.  Robert |

Yep....I have a 1986 and a 1988 DateJust.....I can't see them being considered vintage....however the owner is getting there rather too quickly!!!
