More ? I never really thought to ask this before.

Thanks

Many have already asked that question and a search should pop up all sorts of responses. There are definitely a lot of opinions, just like … oh never mind.

I just did a search and could find nothing about the ball park starting
age for vintage watches.
I would welcome opinions on this since i dont know anything about the old ones except
that something from the 50's would be considered vintage.

are the 60's thru 90's considered vintage ?

Thanks

I think the Search Database mostly disregards "vintage" to limit overused search term.

Short version: It has been asked several thousand times.

Real short version: 4 Digits, Plexi, painted indexes.
