My free-after-boxtops Kodak "Olympics Official Sponsor" watch from the '80s, with quartz movement, got more compliments than any watch I've owned, and is still ticking away with admirable accuracy. Had I known it would last so long, I never would have bought any other watch.

I understand. I have a Titanium and 18KY Tag Heuer that I bought new in 1987. It is still running having needed only battery changes over the years. I talked to their service department and they informed me that if I ever need parts none are available. She also told me they consider the watch a vintage time piece. (?????????) 1980's watches are Vintage???????????? The '80s were just a few years ago.
