This may be a silly question.....

I work a front desk job in a resort/marina type of area and I have to say that sometimes when a 50 something and up well fit and athletic guy walks in with is SS Sub that watch looks a lot more elegant and action ready than seeing it on a 20 year old monkey suited kid.

Anyone agree ??

Hey A Rolex makes anyone look good. Even that 20 year old kid.

nauticajoe · 22 October 2010, 09:13 PM

I think Rolexes look good at any age with any hair color.

padi56 · 22 October 2010, 09:28 PM

Cannot honestly see what the colour of anyones hair has to do with whatever watch you might be wearing.

That`s question for our Kojak friend!

Silly post...

tattooedfagin · 22 October 2010, 09:39 PM

doesn't seem to have done JJ any harm & he's got plenty

Engi · 22 October 2010, 10:06 PM

nice question getto ...

I believe that it is related to the "charm" that age (and grey hairs) gives to a man ...

Ciao

Well, as a 50 something well fit athletic guy, I'd say yes.

unfortunately, that 20 something kid in a well fitted monkey suit is me(but I rarely have to wear a suit). So, I am going to have to say that it looks better on the kid who's hair is not thinning

. However, an all gold day/date on a 50 something, slightly grey, and in shape man looks very classy!

Nothing looks better with gray hair

Maturity and gray hair are a great combination. I hope you get the privilege to acquire both someday.

I never saw a Rolex with gray hairs. Didn't know they came that way. Oy.

acquire...... hmmmmmm..... what college did u attend???

Mogens · 22 October 2010, 11:35 PM

Besides the haircolor and age - I would generally agree that a sub looks even better with casual clothing than a suit...

colpol · 22 October 2010, 11:39 PM

I don't think age matters but what I do say to people is don't wait until your older to get these type of things like watches, cars, etc

On holiday though I think a nice sub or SD looks great on a tanned wrist

Few years back - my partner in her mid 30's said she was going to get a nice watch maybe a cartier for her 50th !! I was like why wait 15 years to look down at a nice watch on an old wrinkly wrist - just get it now. She sold a stash of stuff on ebay & although didn't eventually get the cartier - she got something that she really liked.

Route 66 · 22 October 2010, 11:45 PM

I had gray hairs when I bought my first Rolex and now I have even more gray hairs.

Having said that, I think I would have been cool even before I had any!
