Vintage question?

What is considered the age for a watch to roll over to vintage status. Any thoughts.

Some suggest an acrylic crystal as a measure of a vintage...

I would respectfully disagree to others' opinions of a watch being over 20 years.

i got a 25 year old DJ 16233, but i would not consider that as vintage. It has 3135 movement and sapphire crystal.

This gets asked just about every week - many threads.
Look in the vintage section to see what vintage is!
