I really love the Submariner date steel... I like it because it is still a fine movement watch... and it is simple in the sense of not having gold/white gold or diamonds, like I've seen in some people... plus I tried it on my wrist in a store and I just felt like wow.

So question is... 24 years old, too young to get an Steel Submariner? One of my best friends said I should wait until I am at least 30.

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

Thanks.

Politely tell him to mind his own business.

I didn't get my Sub until I was 48. Congrats on doing it at 24!!

You did it in half the time it took me.

24 is not young for any SS watch at all. When I was at highschool, ( we were 16-17 ) one rich friend of us was coming to school with several models of SS Rolexes each different day.
Those days were the first times in my life when I said that, ' I must buy a Rolex one day '. I am 39 and had my first ever brand new Rolex last week. I can say that I wish I had it when I was 17.
Just my opinion.

LightOnAHill · 23 February 2012, 10:16 AM

no, i think by 16 i'll give my kid a sub

why not? :D

ingmar · 23 February 2012, 10:22 AM

I wouldn't get a Patek perpetual at 24 but a Submariner seems like a good "luxury" sports watch purchase. Assuming you've already had the obligatory Tag.

Mickey® · 23 February 2012, 11:05 AM

Depends on how responsible you are IMHO...

SS Oyster · 23 February 2012, 11:11 AM

Only you know when the timing is right. It's a terrific watch, which you could enjoy for a lifetime!

general · 23 February 2012, 11:22 AM

I have always had the money but waited until I bought my house first. I guess I had different priorities and plans for my cash. This meant that I had to hold off for a while. I do not regret it at all.

bottom of the ninth · 23 February 2012, 11:49 AM

I was 19...man I woud love to go back to that day!

The Golden Crown · 23 February 2012, 12:03 PM

I think the age is much of a problem. It will kind of also depend on what outfit you usually wear. But your age is of course fine...

ktam · 23 February 2012, 12:34 PM

wear it at the right place, i don't buy the idea of wearing one in school/university as being a I'm rich look at me ahole. But once you start working, you are independent of anything. So earn your buck to get a decent watch that last a long while and re-sale value.

If you plan to travel a lot in the future, get the GMTII or Explorer II.

z32turbo · 23 February 2012, 12:35 PM

No way go for it!!!

z0mghenry · 23 February 2012, 12:38 PM

I don't think there is a right age...it's all about the maturity of the individual.

Rod. · 23 February 2012, 01:51 PM

I got my Sub when I was 20 and 40 years later we're still going strong. Go for it!

You are never to young for a Rolex...just appreciate the watch like the rest of us!

warren G. · 23 February 2012, 02:06 PM

I'm 22 and I bought my Sub-C with my own money. I work hard and save for it...

kritsberg13 · 23 February 2012, 02:10 PM

Rolex are timeless, we are not. So get started. Im 31 and just got one. If you can then do!

MortgageGuy · 23 February 2012, 02:17 PM

Never too young IMHO as mentioned it is not an age thing but more of a maturity level

I had my first at 21 and never looked back

MoBe · 23 February 2012, 02:18 PM

Your friend has a problem with his thinking.

As long as you`re not wearing Lederhosen to school I think you`re old enough to wear a Rolex.

Do what you want. I turn 21 next saturday and have a PAM 112, SD, and just paid half of my DSSD that ill get in 2 months. Why? I work my ass off and decided I already invest enough and dont have a wife/gf/family/kids to answer to or take priority.

Do what you want. What makes you happy.

guyrolex · 23 February 2012, 02:20 PM

Don't see a problem- I will be giving my kid either my Sub C or 16710 to wear when he is 18 or so in a couple of years

I like this. As long as he/she deserves it. I plan to get a Sub with their initials on it the day their born and then give it to them when theyre 18. I had a friend do this. Love it.

ispep · 23 February 2012, 02:45 PM

Age doesnt matter, unless you are cheese. So go for it.

boogiebot · 23 February 2012, 02:49 PM

buy, wear and enjoy!

topgear · 23 February 2012, 03:51 PM

If you like it and can afford it, go for it.

Cato · 23 February 2012, 04:13 PM

You should have gotten one at 18yo!

A Subbie is the perfect watch to spend your 20s with.

In your 30s get a DJ, then DD in your 40s and beyond!

Sunshine · 23 February 2012, 04:52 PM

I was 17. Mine was for diving. I bought a used 5513 from my dive master. I sold dam near everything I owned to buy it.

YoyoGift8 · 23 February 2012, 05:15 PM

I'm sure a lot of people would have bought it when they were younger if they can afford it...

brettpaul · 23 February 2012, 05:45 PM

Age doesn't matter as long as you appreciate the watch and it 'speaks' to you....which it sounds like the Sub C has!! Now you just have to decide if you want the Sub C or the classic 16610 with aluminum bezel - you'll win either way!

Baronrojo · 23 February 2012, 05:46 PM

Get it...just shows you're ahead of the curve.
