It's classic but not yet vintage.

Vintage in watches is a relative term. I have a trit dialed 16220 DJ I'd now consider vintage (but of course, they don't make them anymore)

It seems in the world of Rolex if it has a plastic crystal it is vintage and not before! But a Classic for sure...

I tend to agree that it is a classic but not vintage. Give it another 15 to 20 years!

IMO, a watch to become a vintage is when it has been discontinued for at least 10 years.
 Although the 14060 has been replaced by the 14060M version is still (the outlook) the same watch (except for the movement).

Too new for vintage in my opinion. Mama always said "no need to rush to get old".
