I think of it like this:
If people can't decide on whether a particular watch is or isn't vintage, then it isn't vintage.
If it's unanimously agreed on that it is, then it is.

I consider anything older than 25 years to be vintage and anything older than 100 is antique.

Regardless the Explorer II still looks modern to me.

How about this? "If a servicing that replaces original hands or dial with NOS parts destroys its value, it's vintage."

Definitely agreed! Amazing patina! I hope the tritium eventually goes that dark on my 16700.
