You know you’re getting old when…
A watch released in your birthyear/close to your birthyear is considered vintage.
My youngest cousin (new to collecting) bought a secondhand seiko (can’t remember the ref. Code) and told everyone its a vintage piece.
Curious, I asked “what year?”
Filled with joy, he answered my birth year.
Heartbroken, I grabbed another drink.
P.S. The picture above is unrelated.

I refuse to accept that anything created after my birth year can be vintage.
when it comes to selling / buying, anything pre 2000 is classed as vintage!

That’s the thing… I was born in 2001 😅

Think you’re old? I don’t even know when I was born because they hadn’t invented time yet.
My son raided my closet last year, because he wanted to take all the "vintage clothing" to college with him. (Thankfully he has no interest in watches.)
Hey look. Getting older is a blessing I knew a few people in my life who unfortunately wasn’t as lucky to complain about getting older ya know? Not meaning to be mean just perspective..love the citizen by the way.
Vintage is only 30 years. If you think you're old now, I've got bad news... 😏
I’ve heard >25 as vintage. Well, I’m past double that. Get in line, junior! 👴🏻
