Ah, the perennial vintage question. So hard to answer in some ways yet so easy in another.
For me,at least, there's simply no joy whatsoever in walking into an AD, dumping a wad of cash or a credit card on the counter and walking out with a new watch. Anybody can do it, and if 100 people bought the same watch on the same day you'd never be able to tell one from the other. Characterless, soulless, and no challenge whatsoever.
Aside from that, the gorgeous patina on dial and hands, the knowledge that your watch may have a history that goes back decades, the scarcity, not to mention the investment value... no competition in my book.
Newer technology is no compensation for any of that, IMO.
