This is so true. I just recently bought my first vintage timepiece after owning modern Rolex timepieces for almost 10 years.

Karbo · 28 June 2014, 03:29 AM

Imho vintages are over the top aesthetically speaking !

broulstone · 28 June 2014, 05:19 AM

For sure

h999r · 28 June 2014, 05:22 AM

I always like modern look and can not wear vintage

thomaspp · 28 June 2014, 05:26 AM

I'm a modern guy myself, but there are some beauties out there in the vintage world of course

Amazing result for this poll: now the three options divide the audience at about 33% each!

They told me to go to rehab to like the new Rolex watches.......I said no, no, no!

lapince · 28 June 2014, 03:41 PM

I am absolutely not into vintage, sure some look great, but the poor quality of the bracelets and clasps have always kept me away from them and always will, I got my first one, a sub C LN when they introduced the new clasps...

jimmypark54 · 28 June 2014, 03:51 PM

i love vintage but scared because theres too many frankenwatches out there

benlee · 28 June 2014, 03:54 PM

Modern for me. Can't and don't know how to appreciate vintage Rolex. Too much hassle if you ask me, like verification, maintenance and fussing over minute and to me unimportant details. So I think I will stay with modern Rolex. Anyway, with luck and given sufficient time, certain current modern Rolex are future vintages, isn't it?

There is one Rolex vintage that I really like though. The 1655 Explorer II. Such a cool watch!

Wait, there's another one, a vintage Sub with a Golden Tropical Dial. Forgotten the Ref.

DCheeta · 28 June 2014, 05:21 PM

All! I love having a four-digit, a five-digit, and a six-digit Rolex in my collection. There is so much to appreciate about each step of Rolex's evolution, it would be a shame to overlook entire generations of them.

My two Subs are over 20 years apart (1974 & 1996, approx.). I love looking at them and seeing how the Sub has evolved. Each part of the watch is the same, but different. And then you look at the SubC, for example, and it's one more step of evolution. (This really makes me realize that I need a ceramic Sub, dammit!)

Nice pic!

Nope.

Ray p · 28 June 2014, 05:29 PM

I have a submarine 5508 just having a full restoration on it very expensive.

S329 · 28 June 2014, 06:59 PM

I have a 1680 red that pairs up nicely to my 16610LV. I genuinely love them both equally. The watches are over 35 years apart and I feel like I time warp every time I switch between them.

That's cool.

Karbo · 28 June 2014, 09:28 PM

Yes answer #1 atm :-)

rolio · 28 June 2014, 10:10 PM

I love them all

I have a vintage Seiko diver (6309) which is over 32 yrs old, and a 16710 classic (3186). One older, one newer. All I need for now.

No disrespect meant but... I think you have to have a pretty open mind to drop 9k on a new watch too!

Don’t think, feeeeeeel. It is like a finger pointing at the moon....dooooooont concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all the heavenly glory.

lhanddds · 28 June 2014, 11:29 PM

I enjoy the hunt, so it's vintage for me.

Rolexpharm · 29 June 2014, 01:33 AM

The only vintage I like is that one model that has a super complex movement. Other than that I like the new ones and would most likely opt for a newer model

Tudor66 · 29 June 2014, 01:40 AM

I appreciate both vintage and modern.

Vintage redsubs fit me the best. But I also like the sapphire crystal on my more modern sea dweller ...
