gift for dad

[noobs]

if you were a 70y old man, which one would you prefer and why?
But if you're not 70y, you're also welcome to provide your opinion

[JC316]

Roman, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet.

Because I think it looks better.

[Laura Ann]

I think the most important thing to consider is which would be easiest for him to read.

[Trailboss516]

Romans because that's what I'd wear. I'm half of 70

[Cigars&Watches]

Personally not a fan of Roman

[ibr123]

I gifted this one for my dad’s 70th, it hasn’t left his wrist in the last 4 years.

i'd probably go with sticks + lume (helpful to read time in the dark)
must be on jubilee, however.

[JRell]

I am hovering over this, I really don’t know which one I would take. I had the datejust blue fluted and jubilee. The oyster with the PCLs are calling my name and I might like it better with the smooth bezel. The debate between the dial is a tough one. I like the darker blue I think better, but the Roman’s look amazing on this watch.

I agree with ibr123. This configuration is the one to get for your dad. The jubilee gives this still sporty watch a little more pop and elegance.

[Mr. K]

Romans with oyster and smooth.

Stick with fluted and jubilee.

Think you are right.

[tifosi]

Blue sticks, jubilee, domed bezel.

[Beo3]

Batons, much easier on a 70 year olds eyes.

[Watchsprings]

Stick dial, fluted bezel on oyster.

[Tools]

I don't think that age has anything to do with it.

[Red81]

Sticks. Fluted. Nothing bad about the Roman numerals, but even at my age (41), the lume matters to me for visibility. Awesome gift regardless!

Yep! That’s the one

[WilsdorfNDavis]

Apparently I'm 70...because I have this one:



I'd like the sunburst blue with the batons over the azzurro blue with the roman dial

[Kenny G]

Hard to say as it depends on your dads preference for a bright blue or darker blue dial. Both are beautiful and what a gift!

At 70, he may even prefer a 36mm…depending on his eyesight and wrist size.

A 36mm DJ wears like a dream on a wrist under 7.25’’ as long as you don’t need the larger dial for sight reasons.

Sticks are easier to read in more lighting conditions. I vote sticks.

[ltmgeller]

Roman over stick because it's easier to read.

[Smittyswatches]

Being a guy with crappy eyes I vote for the sticks way easier to read.

[SLWoodster]

For this combo, i think think the OP41 looks better.

[Nairn1980]

If it helps, my dad is mid 70s, has looked at similar models and prefers sticks over romans

I wish it was domed, like the 36mm.

[Crazycollector]

Batons, oyster, smooth bezel

[Cru Jones]

Age has nothing to do with it, IMO.

Anyway, I would take the darker blue dial of the batons. But I would also want the bezel to be fluted. At 70, a little sparkle is a good thing.

[RRGHOST1]

Sticks, Oyster, Fluted. I'm 73

That’s what I’m thinking too
