Would the next step be the 16600 tritium sea dwellers with gold surrounds the next to become vintage? What is the natural progression of this? I used the sea dweller as a reference as I’m most familiar with its variations over the last 30 years.
Since the question has yet to be answered, I'll use GMTs as my point of reference.

Vintage........................................... Classic......................Modern

1950s……1960s……1970s…….1980s………………..1990s …………2000 on up
6542 ----1675----------------16750 16760 16700…....16710…. 116710

Plug in your model .....and the debate goes on.
