So many good options from you guys, thanks a lot. Hopefully my budget will stretch to more than one.
Im sure this question has been asked many times but... When does a watch become vintage!?
Anything older that you are!

Good question and I think you might get varying answers on this one. Generally speaking in the automotive world I think anything over 20 years old is considered vintage, not sure if that applies to watches though...

Ha, so pretty much 40 years old, thanks! Maybe a birth year watch would be a good idea.
Anybody know much about seamaster 'calypso' 396. 0929!? Like where the calypso bit comes from!?

My seamaster collection now stands at 3...next year will be my 40th birthday so is there another Seamaster (maybe a rarer example) that I could add?
Check out some of the older "America's Cup" chronographs and special editions. There's some regatta editions from the early 00's as well that would make an excellent addition.

Can't go wrong with an AT or PO as well!

Looking at your collection, you seem to like diver's watches... There are vintage models as well.
