What is an "Old Man's" Rolex ?

Spoke to several WIS recently about collecting going forward and age milestones and both expressed the opinion that a watch collection should always be "age appropriate", that is, reflect the age of the wearer.

So what would that mean exactly, especially in Rolex terms? Does that suggest that a Day-Date or Cellini on the wrist of a 25 year old, or an Air King on a 70 year old, is "bad form"? If you are in assisted living must you be sporting a Patek and not an SKX? If you are "immature" can you then wear anything? I do see a lot of two-tone in Florida among older people, can that possibly a guide.

Question is whether you feel age should be part of the decision on what you buy, and whether your collection should necessarily be one thing at 30, 40, 50, or 60+ years of age, regardless of your exact likes.

And, is there in fact an "old man's" Rolex?
