There is no law or standard definition in the watch world about watch makes a watch vintage but those at least 25 to 30 years old are generally accepted as vintage among collectors.
The price of a vintage Rolex watch is influenced by many factors. This is why it is not unusual to see a wide range of different prices for the same exact reference of a vintage Rolex.
As with any watch, authenticity and condition are paramount in determining its price. However, when it comes to vintage Rolex watches, it is very important to distinguish between an authentic model and a period-correct model. A Rolex watch that is as close as possible to its original condition (with the original dial, hands, crystal, bracelet, etc.) will always fetch much higher prices than one with aftermarket or replacement components from another era.
The water resistance of vintage Rolex watches vary. Most models offer 100m water resistance, but in the case of the Rolex Submariner, it being a dive watch, its more recent vintage models have 200 meter and 300 meter water resistance.
Rolex generally recommends having a watch serviced every 3-5 years. By nature, vintage timepieces tend to be more fragile, so it's recommended to have any vintage watch serviced every two years. It must be remembered that a watch’s water resistance and accuracy are not permanent and can over time be reduced due to wear and tear. There are a few signs that your watch needs a service sooner rather than later. Read on for Signs It’s Time for Watch Maintenance.
