Classic but not vintage.

I don't think there is a definitive guide but here are some thoughts.

I have seen many watches manufactured after my teenage grandchildren were born being described as vintage and that is plain ludicrous.

I would have thought anything pre 1950s is a reasonable cut off point, but to describe a 15 year watch (ie those with lug holes) as vintage is a serious mis-use of the word.

But there's a lot of ground between pre-1950s and 2000!
