What is an "Old Man's" Rolex ?
Spoke to several WIS recently about collecting going forward and age milestones and both expressed the opinion that a watch collection should always be age appropriate, that is, reflect the age of the wearer. So what would that mean exactly, especially in Rolex terms? Does that suggest that a Day-Date or Cellini on the wrist of a 25 year old, or an Air King on a 70 year old, is bad form? If you are in assisted living must you be sporting a Patek and not an SKX? If you are immature can you then wear anything? I do see a lot of two-tone in Florida among older people, can that possibly a guide. Question is whether you feel age should be part of the decision on what you buy, and whether your collection should necessarily be one thing at 30, 40, 50, or 60+ years of age, regardless of your exact likes. And, is there in fact an old man's Rolex?

Combo Rolex vs custom ABP for Daytona
Lucked out and found a brand new, stickered 116509 panda dial on strap at an AD. Had meant to pick one up when the discontinued the dial, but had other commitments at the time and had to pass.The standard strap it comes on is a bit too loose for my liking, even with the clasp adjusted. I know some members have had similar issues and ended up buying the short strap and then mixing the two for a better fit and centered clasp. For those folks - was the colour and grain match between the straps good? Just wondering because the straps would presumably be coming from different dye lots and hides.The other option would be to get a custom strap from ABP Concept. Price wise, not too far off and their reputation seems good.Any input and/or photos regarding either option would be appreciated.

Now we��re moving in the right direction !!
Took out a link swapped out that god awful 3 position adjustment clasp and man does it fit great !! Got to love that old school Tuna Can!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
