I think I remember when we use to have wruw in different sections of the forum years ago and who ever was in charge of the forum at the time wanted only one wruw thread and that is how it is today problem about being a old timmer here you remember everything. But if we do this thing I got only vintage watches I am in. Should be any thing 20 years and older.

How old does the watch have to be?
That's a very legitimate question.

I have shoes older than some people here, and those same people probably think cave paintings were done in the 1980's; so, for them, a vintage watch is anything pre-2000.

:doh:

OK, you started this TR. What say ye?
Here is what I say.... whatever you think is vintage qualifies. Everyone has a different idea. Hell, posting a watch based on a vintage piece seems cool.

It's funny to read these discussions on TRF. They go to such incredible lengths to essentially define vintage as "anything with a plexi crystal, matte dial, and no WG surrounds". All this despite the fact that now, and in the near future, a ton of more modern watches are going to hit 30 years old.

It really depends how frequently people quote their replies with a one word post of "wow" or the like.

Guys, guys, guys.

Vintage is pre-quartz revolution. Period.

I.e. 1985 and backwards. If you ask me, it should be a picture taken the same day of the watch on your wrist. Like this (iPhone camera):

If any watch goes ("inspired" by vintage pieces, or whatever) what's the point of a dedicated thread?

My 2 cents.

I was going to say pre-70's, but changed to pre-80's, cuz I figured I'd get too much flak. 90's are just too modern.
