What Rolex would be ideal for a 15-year-old boy?

1.Oyster Perpetual 36mm

2.Explorer 114270 36mm

3.Datejust 36mm

Any other ideas?

He's a responsible guy who appreciates the world of watches and knows the value of a Rolex. I don't expect to be given any kind of morality, behavior or how to educate young people. Thank you

First post, best post.

In all honesty I would skip giving a 15yr old a watch. At that age I don't think they can truly appreciate it. That said Oyster Perpetual is my choice, simple and solid dial options.

114060! Don’t buy just for now, something to grow into as well.

Agreed. A watch for life.

Exactly what I bought for my Grandsons.

Sure you can put a Rolex on a 15 year old just like you can put lipstick and eyeliner on a 10 year old girl. There are many who will roll their eyes and think it's ridiculous. Most people in fact. But that doesn't mean you can't do it. Maybe it means you should at least think twice before you do though?

Why oh why?

ginster6 · 14 August 2020, 01:16 AM

i was planning on give my son my AirKing in a few years . but end of day, only if he appreciates for what it is.

If he does not care for it... I guess his time keeper is his iPhone. LOL.

BumbleB · 14 August 2020, 01:17 AM

I don’t think it makes sense to give a Rolex to a 15-year old.

A 15 year old doesn’t understand the value of a Rolex and he would be a target for robbery or theft at school.

I have a brand new Submariner in the safe for my 13-yr old son, but will give it to him when he graduates.

A Citizen would be my pick. IMO no 15 year old needs a Rolex for a multitude of reasons. YMMV.

Absolutely! At 15 I was wearing the cheapest throw-away Timex-style watches, and by the end of the school term they were usually smashed! I didn't get an expensive watch until my 18th birthday...an Omega Seamaster.

bleighs · 14 August 2020, 01:20 AM

None of them. Not for a 15 year imo.

Apparently Dad doesn't think so.

My Mom bought me a Seiko Superior 5 Automatic when I went to college. I wore that thing for 20 years straight, by then it was loosing 5 minutes a day, but it always worked.

It taught me to love mechanical watches. Made me lust for a Rolex. Now I have one.

The Seiko Sup5 is a terrific watch for $120 or so. If he loses it, no biggie.

But since you asked, DJ41, steel, no flutes.

Ferdelious · 14 August 2020, 01:26 AM

My brothers both had Rolexes at 14. One still has that watch and he's worn it daily for 30 years. The other sold his after 10 years of use to upgrade.

If your son is mature and respectful I see no problem. I'd go Explorer 1 of those 3 but the newer 214270. If his wrist is small now then he will grow into it.
