·Two issues with vintages watches, and vintage being 1920-1940s, are the glass crystals and the snap off casebacks.
The crystals created quite a mess if you ever bounced one off a metal door knob and the snap off casebacks, I always felt if I sweated too much my movement was going to rust.
Other then those two peeves I have always liked the look of vintage watches.

·In the future, will the following ever be added to this conversation?
These design elements are pretty divisive now. Who knows how they’ll stand the test of time? Cool or gaudy? Classic or dated? I really like the white Seamaster 300m, but there is a lot going on there. Would I tire of it?
- Wavy dials: NO
- HEV valves: YES
- Skeleton hands: YES
Which explains why I bought this:
