Why Vintage?

GMT comparison

wait till u see the price for a full set excellent pepsi dial 1675 vintage gmt's price or a rootbeer gmt

Btw gmtiic ss released somewhere in 2008. Price has been falling. Bow 8k nw can get. Vintage on the other hand rises. Hence ur comparison on the gmt not really correct

Problem with Vintage is, it is hard to get a full set with box and papers. Most good condition 1675 cost about 7+, unless you are talking about those without crown guards.

My point being, why is there comments on vintage being expensive? You can get a vintage piece 1970+ at less than the price of a current new pieces. That is for GMTs. For Subs vintage can cost a lot more depending on how old.

I did look around for GMT root beers, they are not as expensive as thought, a 1675 cost about 7.8K at a preown shop. A GMT2 root beer cost less than 7k.

yes. Rootbeer has been available as far back as 1675.

Can't agree more. Last time cannot afford. I finally have Predaking. And the oliginal bad-ass metal megatron. Hold in my hands, worth every single cent that I overpaid for them.

Hehehe I collect G1 but reissue transformers. I got megatron, optimus prime, soundwave and combaticons merge to form bruticus.

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

I point is if you can afford a new GMT2C which cost 9k, a vintage GMT will cost less. Hence why is vintage said to be expensive?

A new Sub cost around the same as a vintage sub, not talking about red sub....

A new justdate cost even more than a vintage piece.....

Strange but I see some comments of vintage being expensive. Unless you go for the rare red sub, I don't think vintage piece being much more expensive than current sports models.

A GMT2C is around the 9K region. Most vintage GMT and Sun cost less.....

Well..we cannot compare it like this...

I would compare those of the same era with it...so we are comparing on the same line.

Vintage Datejust compared to Vintage Daytona. Datejust is valued at ard 2.8k-3k now...while Daytona is about 30k.

when u have 1 feet in the coffin, you start to remember the good old times and hope to have a piece of your era with you.

okok jking....cos production of those models is much less than the modern ones bah so highly collectable....









or buyer is just too darn rich

For some...well they feel that vintage watches are in a sense less common and more rare in the market.

Back 30 years ago...Rolex production is not like today's 800,000 watches a year. Maybe it could be 100,000 a year. Which makes their production(supply) lower. With the new professional series being more popular, people who want to stand out from the crowd would prefer vintage pieces. That beside the point, some vintage watches have more meaning to some and hav some historic value in some cases.

Me too, me too. How i wish i can afford a vintage

[zidaneong]

Personally I do not have any vintage watches in my current collection but I supposed their 'uniqueness' do appeal to some collectors?

same, i have no vintage too....

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.

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

true..and s.crystal is much more costlier to replace...hahaha....plexi rules!!!

oic, but than it is troublesome sia, cos i often and accidentally hit the glass, so i personally prefer crystal over plastic.
