My two favorite watches have always been the Sub Date and TT DJ. Even when I was younger and didn't really know what they were or anything about Rolex the brand those two watches always caught my eye when worn by others.

A few years ago I got "my" Sub Date and at that time was still in my 40's. I still liked the DJ and thought it was a great looking watch chose the Sub. Since turning 50 a couple years ago my eye was drawn more and more to the DJ and just got one.

I still love the Sub but the last couple days wearing the DJ it seems more "right" to have that on at work with shirt and tie but looking forward to putting the Sub back on for the weekend.

Did I just become an old man??

Nope.....just means you are mature enough to wear what pleases you.

dude you were an old man at 40!!

just joking I am one of the ones who think that any watch at any age is fine, just a personal decision, regardless of age, I think any Rolex looks great at any age

You are not old. I've been wearing Datejust since I was 45; I am 70 now and I don't feel old.

Got mine when I became 30. Did not even consider a sports watch at the time. I have caught up since.

Just wear it and enjoy the DJ.

TT DJ is the official old man watch... JK.... Wear what you love!

The Datejust was my first watch. Received it when I was 27. It looks good at any age, much like the Submariner.

I understand your question completely, and the answer is yes. You are now an old man, but old man with taste

There are several DJ and President versions I like too, but I'm not quite there yet. I see one in my future though.

You are only as old as the woman you feel... legally of course.

Cheers,
