vintage is nice, but i prefer s. crystal as i might damage the plastic crystal. Like my dad, have a small chip off from his 1500. sianz

if its s. crytal, the impact that caused a small chip off his 1500 may shatter your s.crytal

Old style plexi glass is not difficult to find, just head down to ebronzeage or tophour and you can find it with ease. And especially when aftermarket crystals are made exact to the OEM specs, I don't find it a problem. When I send in a vintage rolex to RSC for verification, I have never once seen the technician inspect the plexiglass.

Well I am in my early 30s but i still like the look of vintage rolex. It has a very cool factor to it. The crystal looks a lot better than ones uses these days. Modern design looks very to date with new materials and new looks. But vintage has this nice feel to it. The vintage i have is even older than myself!

I believe watch making tech has improved over the years and material used are more lasting and "better". I doubt vintage watches work or will last longer than current pieces. Plus for really old pieces, new parts may not be avaliable.

This said I am not saying vintage watches are not lasting or poor quaility. I am sure they are solid to last all this time......btw I like vintage watches too....

lol, that is what i heard from the others too regarding vintage watches and craftmanship then.

[lthg25]

Last longer?

maybe vintage can work / last better than current watches?

Its like buying back mermories that we can not afford when we were young. Example: 1980s Transformer toys.

[zidaneong]

Maybe its the fact that vintage pieces are no longer in "production" whereas can just buy the recent ones...

Hi,

Why do people like vintage rolex watches when the prices come close or are even higher than new pieces? Often these vintage pieces come less than perfect condition. So why vintage?
