Do you guys think that the DD II is a maturer/older persons watch? I recently got a DDII in YG and I'm 28 years old... People who are into watches appreciate the timepiece..while the average joe and some ppl who are into watches as well have said its a maturer persons watch....something to have when ur 40+..What do you guys think?

Sammk · 15 July 2014, 07:26 AM

I can't find the way to edit the subject.. I meant "an older mans watch"

louis redfoot · 15 July 2014, 07:26 AM

whenever i think gold watch, a retirement party comes to mind.

some people can pull it off, personally i won't try. wore one at the store once, didn't feel too different from what i already have.

age aside, the image is just a little too "macho" for my taste. same reason why i don't have an escalade or murcielago.

I'm going to punch somebody in the nose! As an elderly man in his fifties I resent when I hear about the Day-Date being for old people. Some of us don't care for 50mm watches or trendy watches. If classic or 18kt is "old," then call me Gramps.

locutus49 · 15 July 2014, 07:47 AM

Gramps, you may have some anger issues. Let's see: overbearing mother, distant father...hmmm....how do you feel about that

Thank you my friend. Some members are taking my rant seriously.

locutus49 · 15 July 2014, 08:16 AM

No, we took it humorously, and responded in kind. Your post was too out of character to be serious. But I breast-fed until 6 years old, so what do I know

Elderly man in his 50's?.... I'm feeling old...I thought elderly was starting at 70 years old.

I am now 71 and not old, but now a more sensible mature age, and I wear whatever I want to in watches.

When did '50' become 'elderly'?

thomaspp · 15 July 2014, 07:32 AM

No. Mid /early 30s here and love that piece.

I'm thirties too and after a DD2 but I do think the RG chocolate dial is a bit more youthful and modern than your YG.

Kyu · 15 July 2014, 07:32 AM

I have President II in RG and YG

I don't look or feel like an old man lol

I'm 30 BTW

rolexgolfer · 15 July 2014, 07:35 AM

No way! The new size/style of the DDII makes it very youthful. Honestly most people I see with that watch on in NYC are 20 somethings.

The Libertine · 15 July 2014, 07:37 AM

What matters most is whether you like the watch, because you are the one wearing it.

locutus49 · 15 July 2014, 07:39 AM

I have never seen a young person wear one. But that is probably due to the cost, not the style.

Hey, why not start a new trend, rock one and the young and fashionable will follow.

Floorguy · 15 July 2014, 07:41 AM

I'm a maturer/ older person, send it to me, I'll wear it!!

Racerdj · 15 July 2014, 07:42 AM

It's a stunning piece regardless of your age!

The Man makes the watch not the watch who makes the man....or something like that... I'm mid/early 30's and wear a gold piece.....I even decided to wear it to work today lol

goog53 · 15 July 2014, 08:02 AM

DD is a classic and any watch connoisseur regardless of age can wear one. Don't worry what others think and be confident in your own skin

Rolextraderflorida · 15 July 2014, 08:06 AM

Not for old people. I'm 30 and wear one. A personal favorite. Anybody of any age group can wear any Rolex that they want! A great brand with tons of options!! From air king to masterpiece. All awesome.

up2nogood · 15 July 2014, 08:23 AM

Don't see the difference between a gold necklace/ring/etc and a gold watch. You want, you can afford, you buy, you wear.
Besides, a DDII actually wears pretty big on your average 6.5 to 7.5 wrist, so it fits with the current trend while still fitting your wrist properly.
Don't see many members here talking about flipping their gold DDII's.........

MKIVdan · 15 July 2014, 08:25 AM

Im 27 and have a Day Date yellow gold :)

Sammk · 15 July 2014, 06:56 PM

Ah so there is someone younger than me out there who owns a DD II..a picture would be nice

All 4 of the Kardashian kids and Scott were wearing them while in their twenties so it's not about age just affordability. I don't like their taste in most things but they do have great taste in watches, probably due to Scott, as he is a genuine watch lover with an amazing collection of Rolexes, APs, PPs.

joli160 · 15 July 2014, 07:51 PM

Samm, stick with it, real beauty and the grail of many one.
That you don't see a lot of younger men wearing it has everything to do with the price tag.
Wear it with pride and enjoy.

T01 · 15 July 2014, 08:25 AM

No, not an old man's watch at all in my opinion.
