Where do you draw the line for vintage? Sorry if this has already been asked here in this post.

-66 GMT and -68 Tudor sub. The swiss -66 7206 now belongs to the GMT and the beater sub is back on a 93150. Not sure why we have the mix up on the pics. :)

Wow, so many great looking watches !
Especially drawn to the beautiful looking dials on yours bagel !


My own collection is maybe more 'classic' looking than of the "looks
like a vintage" type, though many are well over 30 years old. Here
are some of my older ones...

My oldest is a circa 1962 Day Date 1803


Mid 1960s Perpetual Date 1500


And late 1970s Explorer II 1655



Much prefer vintage to current models and would love to join the group.

1955 Oyster 6422

Here's an 1955 Oyster 6422, sold it a little while ago but wished I'd kept hold of it.
