If anyone is interested on whether their watch is vintage, or what is considered a vintage Rolex, one has to look no further than the many threads here on TRF to find the answer.

There are many opinions by members here on TRF defining vintage as well as a multitude of threads discussing this aspect of vintage collecting. Below is a sampling of threads going back to 2013 defining and discussing the various aspects and opinions on "what is vintage."

Enjoy the reading - some of the replies are interesting and entertaining!

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of these posts. Unfortunately as 'vintage' adds ££££ or $$$$ to anything the question will never cease to be asked; very often in hope!

Lucky for me I NEVER flip, so that point is moot for me. Plus these are probably considered cheapies so money is not any reason for concern.

Great threads and still non the wiser on what is Vintage or isn't . And as there are so many mixed opinions on what's classed as Vintage ,then maybe there could be a Vintage adjudication panel where you can state your watches virtues & have it classed as Vintage or not by the learned panel .I am happy to join the Panel & maybe we could convene on some exotic island in a secret hideaway for maybe two or three months a year ,whilst considering our verdict .

Example: I'm wearing now a 2015 Z-Blue Milgauss.

Therefore: my Rolex is of the 2015 vintage.

There, hope that helps.
