Monday’s Watch : Hitting “Vintage” at 25 years

Apr 29, 2024,12:46 PM
 

On the way to the office.  


A 25 year old watch this year.  Pretty crazy.  Does that make it officially “vintage”?  I think 25 years safely meets the cutoff, even by conservative standards.  I know for some perhaps 20 years is considered vintage. 

With this one turning “vintage” my Rolex collection now moves to majority vintage.  And that’s counting the 2004 Kermit as modern still.

I for one prefer the steel bezel daytona’s to the ceramic ones

They have more soul and less plasticky feeling to them. Thanks for sharing!

1989, from memory!

My first dip into “vintage” late last year and really loving it. ...  

Impressive!

Super. Black on gold is hard to beat.

It also lines up well with your user name location hint. It’s very Miami!

Not much of a Daytona fan, but this one looks special.

One day you should share how you take these iconic Jay wristshots, bc I’ve struggled to copy the original ...  

True! I have yet to find another speedy to replace it

Love the orange on orange.

What makes this one cool is it’s really not your everyday Speedy.

I love every single Daytona I’ve ever seen.

One of the best watches ever made (imo). ...  

I’m maybe not sold on every one, but a vast majority for sure.

Looking good with those two.

Love your pieces. Not a dayto guy but

If you had to put a gun to my head, it would be the preceramic dayto, and yes, in black! And I’d probably wear it with that outfit as well. Your wrist shots never disappoint 👍
