Is this an age thing?

As I get older I'm starting to appreciate 3 things that I didn't seem to appreciate before:

1. 36mm models seem to fit and look better
2. Vintage or neo vintage models seem to look better
3. Gold and even TT look pretty and maybe even better than SS

I don't know whether it's a phase thing or age thing or something else but I noticed I look more at older watches on eBay and YouTube and many are 36mm (or even 34mm) and the TT or YG ones seem to look best.

Weird but maybe it's an age thing?

Some folks follow the latest fad.

Others can appreciate the good things in life.

A watch enthusiast is a journey and it’s great your tastes evolve as you go. It shows growth and open-mindedness.

^^^ this.

Plus you go through phases like being anti-, the 'flip side' of the heard. You do you, and enjoy your time

PS: You need more watch straps.

So far I can attest to numbers 2 and 3, as you can see in my signature. But, I’ve liked TT for decades, so not an age thing for me, per se. But I still like TT.
