Subs usually appeal to younger guys because its a sports model, datejust is a classic design and predomintely for mid thirties and up guys who already have multiple watches and somewhat established.

If you want the best of both sport and dress, id look for a newer datejust turn-o-graph 116264 model with an oyster bracelet

All Rolex SS sport models are timeless. Any of them will work for someone in their 20s all the way to the day they pass it on to their kids.

The Sub ND is my grail though, but I could definitely see adding an Explorer II to compliment a Sub.


Same here, 26 waiting for sub ND end of month. Singapore AD. You?

SS date just with white gold bezel and oyster bracelet. It is classic and timeless. You can dress up or down.

Vintage is cool and timeless. The problem with going with a young looking watch is that as you age it might start looking a bit daft.

So I would say vintage Sub or GMT. The epitome of cool to me and absolutely timeless.

Youngest looking Rolex watch?

I’m in my 20s. People often tease me and call me a “hipster”. Not sure if that means trendy :P. But I wear a sub or my GMT..

As seen in the following photos ft my other half hahah



Can’t go wrong. Works well from 20s till the end and never gets tired!

Your Rolex and your tattoos actually match well. I take a medicine called Coumadin (Warfarin) so there is no way I could get a simple tattoo, let alone have full artwork done on both arms. Your Rolex and your tattoo's actually look great. And your other half could easily rock the 116598 to go with that awesome coat.

Yep, this

You own the watch, not the other way around.
