Can I wear a Rolex to work as a 25 year old? I made some good money in the stock market and bought a Daytona

I think it’s less about age than context. If you’re working on a cost cutting project where there will be layoffs then don’t show up at the client site in a Ferrari with a Rolex. That goes for 40 year olds as much as 25 year olds.

Sure. There are fewer and fewer people who will notice, but if you know, you know.

I mean the reality is that 99% of people won’t notice or know how much it costs. If you like it and think it looks good, wear it. It’s not that deep - remember, no one is thinking about you (or what you wear) as much as you do.

Sheesh good on you. I assume you went gray?

I wouldn’t unless other ppl (especially seniors/partners do). You don’t want to wear a Daytona if the partners are all in apple watches.

I wore a sub as a 22 year old… you’re fine. Those that know, know, 90% it’s lost on. Also I wore an 80s presidential as an analyst as well for 4-5 years. Before trading it out, but do what you want. Don’t let society dictate what you should nor shouldn’t do.

Congrats on the Daytona, they are beautiful. I have a sub date that my grandpa passed on to me and have had it since I was 20. I would say wear it as much as you can and enjoy it! Just be careful traveling with it.

For homes that need major updates, should there be an added discount in the offer since it will take time and effort to fix up or am I not being realistic ?
