How old were you when you bought your first gold dress watch
Just a random question. I was noticing that several slightly pre-loved gold watches from quite a few brands are in my price range but I'm just not sure if I want a gold watch yet.
The first Rolex I ever had was a vintage DJ that was all gold and I rarely wore it. It just didn't suit me. I think gold/leather I could pull off nowadays, though... |

39. It seemed to me a man in his 40s should have a gold watch. But I still wear SS most days.

Bought my YG GMT-C for my 30th birthday...
I wear SS watches 95% of the time though.
The precious metals come out for dinners out, holidays, events etc. All that matters is that you're comfortable with it. Go for it! |

I was 15 when I got my first gold watch. I inherited it though, it was my grandfathers.

Got my first gold watch 23 years ago but not my first dress watch until I was in late 30's. With that said don't think age matters and as long as you like it and are happy nothing else matters!

Late 40's with a WG day date II and have been bitten by the bug many times since. White gold and platinum are my favorites.
