so is Panerai for older people?

[wannabelean]

Im about to buy my first expensive watch and it will be a toss up between a Rolex and a lesser known premium brand. Panerai has got me thinking for its simplicity. From all that I can read on the web is most customers seem to be 40-45 + years of age. Im 29 and I certainly dont want to look like a 45+ year old. The GMT master IIC is what is on my mind right now. Can the Panerai be worn on suits? For some reason the strap makes me get the feeling that the watch is more suited for social occasions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I wear the Omega Moon manual winding watch presently.
