When did '50' become 'elderly'?

Good thing I got my day date before it became cliche.
Oh, look, it's 9:00 o'clock. I should be in bed. I wonder if I took my medication?

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

FYI I don't have a yg DD. I have a stainless steel model - dial says "Polex".

If it worries you sell it, someone the other day made some comment about how old school my YG DD was, I took it as a compliment, I am 43 not in my 20's but I don't care what people think to be fair. If we did we would all just wear SS SUBS as they are cool on anyone.

I've been vacationing in Viscardo, Greece these past couple of weeks. Viscardo is a magnet for wealthy yahat owners needing a destination and Rolex spotting is common. I happened upon two gentleman wearing YG DDs. The first was in his 60s and he wore his watch like he'd been wearing it for 30 years--it was invisible. The second was on a young man in his early 20s. He was at the table next to ours at dinner. What I presumed to be his family's 120' motor yahat was parked parked just a few feet away and I would guess by the way that the kid's hair was slicked back that he was a privileged brat and probably never worked for much in his life. The Rolex came across to me as just slightly repulsive and I have a gold Rolex. I think that if your going to wear a gold Rolex, you need to look like you might have worked for it. This may be hard to pull off for a young man.

I just thought an oyster bracelet (for me) would be more comfortable to wear.

It's a daily wearer.
