I call 1990s vintage, but "vintage" is an advancing front that envelops a new group of watches each year.
20+ years is a good yardstick that you can apply across the board. There's also a sense that many watches from the 1990s exhibit features, size, materials, and styles that have disappeared, become uncommon, or become unfashionable today.

Can we call pre-Swatch Breguet "vintage"? What does one call 80s and 90s watches?

All very nice but the platinum piece is perfect!
When I first started collecting watches back in the '80s everyone considered watches from the '50s and '60s to be vintage, so in my opinion, today it makes sense to consider '80s and '90s watches vintage.

Wow! Great Watches!
Amazing trio. Maybe the term "Classic" could be used here. Although, couldn't do these superb watches any justice. Wear in the best of health. Cheers. Harvey

references and production numbers?
i'd like to know if there's a list of references that's complete or extensive and online, as well as figures on production rates during different ownerships.
A good discussion
I am a noob about used and vintage. I do not look back, i look forward. I like the evolution of mechanical movements. An old principe is today almost perfect with an accuracy that can compete with quartz watches. The fresh oscillator technology push the p...
