Carbon diver question

Hi folks,

Just wondering what the general consensus is regarding whether this model will be still looking the part on an older wrist. I currently have this watch and have been toying with changing it for a royal oak. I'm mid forties and currently I feel it is suitable for me, but I sort of feel that it is a model for a younger guy. I guess age is just a number.

Cheers

Michael

Depends how you feel, mate, but its common here that after a while we go smaller and often more expensive, happened to me too. Which RO do you have in mind? And what else do you have now?

Thanks Neil,

I've got the 15305 skeleton in mind, although I think that is beautiful it is also a little hard to read and lots more £.
Currently I've got 5711, lange 1, datograph, seadwellerC. Had to sell the hulk for the mrs engagement ring��

I think you should swap it or sell it if you don't wear it, and I would care less about the age factor.
Wrist time is the one that should be dictating your decision.

Must be love as I know you loved that Hulk. 15305 sounds a good addition to that collection or the 15202.

Since you already have a 5711 I say the 15202 is out unless you really like the jumbo. The 15305 is stunning, that gets my vote

Almost 51 and getting younger. This is a fantastic watch for any age

The FC and Ceramic Divers are very sporty and casual but they can be worn by men (or women) of all ages. One of my clients is in his early 60s and wears a ceramic diver along with ROO Montoya LE and RC. They all look great on him.
