I’m my late 50’s, and my tastes are broadening. Huge steel sports fan, but recently acquired a PM Sub. Before the purchase, I was concerned about it being a bit too flashy, but as I get older, my concerns of what others think respectfully diminish.

But hey, that’s the beauty of enjoying great mechanical watches. It’s all personal preference. And sure that changes with experiences and finances. |

Is this an age thing?

I subscribe to a similar thinking but for me, it would be Daytona, GMT and DD (36). I’m definitely in the part of my journey where I don’t need as many watches as I thought I used to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think it's pretty common to start appreciating different styles and sizes as we get older.

Except for number 1, I’m with you.
At 6’4” 250lbs, 36mm is just too small for me. |

As an older collector, I appreciate larger watches for their legibility. To me smaller watches no longer look normal on my wrist. I don't believe the choice for smaller watches is tied to age. As a matter of fact, it's become a fashion statement. I normally see younger owners choosing the smaller watches, these days. I think the pricing is cheaper for smaller watches as well. This might have something to do with the attractiveness for some.

I find it amusing that people in their 40s think they’re getting old. Lol
I agree with those of you that say age isn’t a factor. Many younger folks like smaller watches. Many older folks like larger watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
