What is considered as a vintage watch? 

Vintage watches are at least 25 years old.  At Expertswatch.com, we classify all timepieces made prior to 1990 as vintage.  There may be others that draw their cutoff at 30 to 50 years old.  Nevertheless, what can’t be debated is that all vintage watches exude a substantial degree of charm and personality that is difficult to replicate in mass-produced modern watches.

 Check sellers’ reputation – Oftentimes, vintage watches are great deal because they can be less expensive than their modern counterparts. However, these watches tend to need servicing, need parts and may have issues. That is why Experts Watches has Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program, and we are one of the first in the industry to do so. Our goal is to make sure that you are getting an authentic and fully functional timepiece. We are considered one of the top vintage dealers on the web, by providing most detailed information about our watches, certifying our watches, and providing seamless transaction, among other things.

Patina – The character of watch come from its wearer,  a unique look through the watch history. Usually Patina is associated to the watch dial and how it ages based on its exposure to the elements.  These are special characters that differentiate each watch from another (The DNA of the watch).
