Do you think a Rolex looks better with grey hairs ??

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 ??

Exactly. Or an aging polar bear, if one can be found willing to provide a comment.

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

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

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

nice question getto ...

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

Ciao

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!

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

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