Wikkie maintains that Vintage starts after 20 years. I can live with that but then is is it safe to assume that a vintage watch has been serviced @every 4-5 years? I don't believe that. Are most servicings dated by marks/date on the inside of the case back? Does anyone wear the Antique watches in their collection? Are they runners or do you just have them for other reasons?
Some notable brands like Rolex have service interval recommendations. A CW21 watchmaker usually dates and
initials the inside of the case back. I wear occasionally a 1960 gilt dialed Rolex Submariner 5512. This reference is more resilient than most watches and has the chronometer 1560 caliber inside. Imagine the number of revolutions the hands /movement have inscribed since 1960.
