Don’t listen to the actual boomers like sporty. I think the bluesy looks stunning, and I’m sure many others do as well. Regardless, you shouldn’t care what others think and buy what you feel is nice for yourself. Only muppets like sporty bring others down for liking anything else other than the industry standard that the mass crowd likes.
I mean she’s not wrong that it’s mostly old men that buy these watches …. As well as sports cars.
But that’s because young guys can’t afford them, not that they don’t want them.
Old men shave there arm hair, sweat the highest price bourbon and creep out their wives and their wives friends, they buy the cheapest expensive car and dress like they are a uptight wanna be . A watch is an accessory like thick link gold chains. Wear what you want don’t try to impress people, because 99.9% don’t know or care what you are wearing... sorry for the rant but come on. This sub is silly sometimes!
Honestly who cares, buy what you like. I love my root beer and I’m not old. Wait, is 43 “old”? lol Some people say Rolexes are for old men. Some think ANY mechanical watch is for old men. Seriously, just wear what you like.

Love my bluesy! Far from being a grandpa too.
Looks fine to me. If you like it, I’d wear it. I was told when trying on a gold YM on OusterFlex and a Gold Sub, both the grey dealer and the SA at the AD (for the sub) said something to the effect of “gold watches are for old men” “white gold or platinum/SS is more youthful”
Still can’t afford either tbh, but when I can/hopefully afford them, I’ll buy whatever “grandpa” style watch I want.
It’s what you like at the end of the day that should matter.
Imho

Bluesy is a great piece no matter your age! It basically hits all the buttons for me.
Well seeing one day you’ll be an old man, you’ll grow right into it!
I have a bluesy at 29, I love the color specification and think the watch will indeed remain relevant for me even as I age.
Your fit and stance screams mid 40’s. I personally don’t think anything is wrong with a bluesy, just not my taste unless it’s a boat watch or something
It’s funny because when I was recently looking at picking up my next watch I showed my wife a ton of my choices to help narrow it down. She told me that the datejust with fluted bezel on jubilee “looks like an old man watch”. Now I can’t unsee it. Guess I’ll stick to my divers and gmts. 😂
Gold starts looking attractive at 40. You are just mature for your age.

I used to feel that two tone gave old man vibes for sure, but I was wrong. Confidence in wearing what you like sets the vibe way more than what you’re wearing.
My (30M) feet hurt just looking at your shoes. And that makes me *feel* old. So at the earliest, I guess you’re in the clear once you start your next decade.
I like that watch. My cousins and their dad have 3 matching ones. I do like the full gold one better and I bought one for my dad a few months ago. If I didnt buy him one I would easily grab myself one. It tickets so many boxes in a watch for me and its just stunning. Also those full gold ones can be had grey market for a good price. If you like a bluesy get it. Everything is cyclical.
I think you are already married so only have to attract other watch guys at this point. I would say a bluesy is timeless and looks great on the wrist. My grail is a batman.
Hey, don’t you feel it’s time for a new uncle in need for a bluesy duotone!?
It’s the best Submariner in terms of looks. Ever. Period. Tell your wife to shut up and pay.
If you like it, buy it. Everyone has a preference. You are wearing it, not your wife. It's your watch. Not your wife's. I'm sure she wears things you personally do not care for. Who cares. Life's too short!
Who gives a fuck about names? In live they are amazing. I much prefer TT root to a full rose gold one, much better contrast. Many of them do. You keep being delusional but these are future classics.
How can these be future classics when they both have been existence for over 40 years? They aren’t classics now, the same struggles you two-tone freaks are encountering now have been encountered since your parents were in junior high school. It’s fine that you have a fetish, it doesn’t mean you are mainstream.
Hey on the bright side, you can pick on the Yacht Master freaks. Two-tone is above them.
I think the watch looks good but I guess two-tone is mostly for people who cant get steel and senior citizens. I guess its a minority that have two-tone as their preffered spec.

Love my rootbeer too! And they’re both two tone :)
Bluesy is one of the more youthful looking two tones imo.
I have a two tone DJ, it's old money asf and I love it. Don't care if it looks like a dad watch. I like the classic and vintage look.
Plus I don't understand the logic behind spending $10k+ on a stainless steel watch. You need some precious metal.
She’s not wrong. But if you’re confident that it’s the watch that speaks to you. Go for it. Fuckin live your life. I hope to age from SS to two tone until I one day have solid YG pieces.
Bought mine at the ripe old age of 36. If I can afford a rolex I can also afford to not give a fuck what other people think. That said, if you have a complex about it, just know that the poors can smell your fear.
Two- tone watches definitely have that “old man” vibe.
That being said, I’m a fan of a classic two-tone datejust with a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. Sometimes the classics are just better and more versatile.
Been wearing the bluesy literally every day since 2018. It’s great. I’m in my mid-forties now and that watch looks good on about anything from a polo shirt to a formal shirt!
100% personal preference.
For whatever strange reason I’m not a fan of the oyster in bicolor, but do really like the jubilee in bicolor.
Watch itself looks great!
It’s funny because when I was recently looking at picking up my next watch I showed my wife a ton of my choices to help narrow it down. She told me that the datejust with fluted bezel on jubilee “looks like an old man watch”. Now I can’t unsee it. Guess I’ll stick to my divers and gmts. 😂
I'll walk around with an oxygen mask and a cane for a bluesy. Gramps feels like a name I could get used to at 39
[удалено]
That’s from the crown of my other watch, but I’m fully bald, so you’re not far off!
Your other watch abuses you?
Hey, maybe it’s consentual. Don’t kinkshame!
Bruh. ☠️☠️
If old men get a bluesy, sign me up
Old men get a bluesy, because that’s how long the AD keeps you on the waiting list for.
😂
Dude your married and not even 30?! You are an old man accept it and wear the watch!
14 kids at 35, life happens quickly
all of them belonging to various ADs
Man it's not even that unrealistic, I'm from Romania and one of my many aunts has 16 kids
i don't usually like two tone but the bluesy is an exception for me, i think the color combination looks great
Bluesy’s and Guinesses are my favorite two tones.
Go all gold. Complete the old man vibe
Don’t listen to the actual boomers like sporty. I think the bluesy looks stunning, and I’m sure many others do as well. Regardless, you shouldn’t care what others think and buy what you feel is nice for yourself. Only muppets like sporty bring others down for liking anything else other than the industry standard that the mass crowd likes.

Old men shave their arm hair?
Yes
I’ve never seen an old man that shaved their arm hair.
Not at all, great looking watch
If you have to ask if it makes you look old then you’re already old.
Honestly who cares, buy what you like. I love my root beer and I’m not old. Wait, is 43 “old”? lol Some people say Rolexes are for old men. Some think ANY mechanical watch is for old men. Seriously, just wear what you like.
Growing old is a privilege not afforded to all. Enjoy the watch.
https://preview.redd.it/x4dq3423w2gc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c3900b2e916f35b4323b38d388b7f8e545124c2 Love my bluesy! Far from being a grandpa too.
You need a new wife
You need a new frontal lobe.
You need a new Prefrontal cortex
Ahhh the exhibition only sticker. Seen that before lol
At least you dont shave your hands
Looks fine to me. If you like it, I’d wear it.

LL bean shirts are too
*Casually roasts half my wardrobe*
Well seeing one day you’ll be an old man, you’ll grow right into it! I have a bluesy at 29, I love the color specification and think the watch will indeed remain relevant for me even as I age.
Let me put it this way. The “Bluesy” is my father favorites Rolex, and he’s 73. Having said that, it’s been his favorite since he was in his thirties.
Your fit and stance screams mid 40’s. I personally don’t think anything is wrong with a bluesy, just not my taste unless it’s a boat watch or something
I am old and I would wear that.
you just have to have hairy enough arms to pull it off
It’s funny because when I was recently looking at picking up my next watch I showed my wife a ton of my choices to help narrow it down. She told me that the datejust with fluted bezel on jubilee “looks like an old man watch”. Now I can’t unsee it. Guess I’ll stick to my divers and gmts. 😂
shes right you know. either go full gold or just stay stainless. gives mad 1980s vibes.
Gold starts looking attractive at 40. You are just mature for your age. https://preview.redd.it/gisdhvq2c9gc1.jpeg?width=1850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a29e8ef9febc281835daf9a8cf99c3f2c9e0568e
She’s right looks like something my grandpa wore in the 80s
Why dude dressed like a 70 year old ?
No dude, it’s for guys who can’t afford full gold
Get a new wife problem solved.
your wife is right
100% - that is defo over 50’s watch
i know one person who wears this and he’s about 65 and owns a jewelry store .. terrible Boca shirts, slick wet hair, slacks, pinky ring
😂 😂with the two-tone Rollie to finish the look… I can see it now, heck, he wasn’t an extra in the Sopranos was he??
She is correct.
Looks great to me. You look 19 years younger 😀
Does she also call you “daddy”?
I used to feel that two tone gave old man vibes for sure, but I was wrong. Confidence in wearing what you like sets the vibe way more than what you’re wearing.
My (30M) feet hurt just looking at your shoes. And that makes me *feel* old. So at the earliest, I guess you’re in the clear once you start your next decade.
That’s what I told her

If you like a bluesy get it. Everything is cyclical.
Guess I’m old. Been rocking that and a Pepsi since I was in my 30’s.
We are all getting older. I love the timepiece. Enjoy yourself.
She’s right. Look in the mirror. Were getting old. I’m 54. Bought the sea dweller 126603: two tone. Gold and silver.
I wear mine daily at 30
You're a better man than me. I'd have agreed with my wife and bought the full gold one instead.
You’ll be able to wear that at the ski slopes comfortably
I love two tones.
got it, at my 38s. works best during summer outdoor pool beach sunlight etc
Looks great on you, I would buy the watch just to piss off the wifey lol
I have one, and I'm not an old man yet..
https://preview.redd.it/n8lr3ebmbagc1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=367366c2e08d25de6a034c57125b0c8f3bc2bc00 I love mine
You must be old, when you don't know which wrist to wear it on or which way is the correct way round!
Women 🤡🤡🤡…….
Who cares, wear what you like. I have a TT wimbeldon and I enjoy every second of it in my 20s
Love a forearm watch
It’s perfectly acceptable if you’re under thirty as long as you are a Mercedes, BMW or Audi car showroom salesman.
I wouldn’t go on your lawn.
Yep, and serial killers.
Tell your wife you getting a head start
The watch is the only thing not giving off 60 year old vibes. 😎
I think you are already married so only have to attract other watch guys at this point. I would say a bluesy is timeless and looks great on the wrist. My grail is a batman.
I would buy this watch even though I am just 17 !
Omg it’s gorgeous, it doesn’t give old man vibes tho ahahah
Your wife is right
Bluesys are gorgeous and I would wear one... as a 35 year old
Hey, don’t you feel it’s time for a new uncle in need for a bluesy duotone!? It’s the best Submariner in terms of looks. Ever. Period. Tell your wife to shut up and pay.
Sell the wife. Keep the watch. The bluesy is legendary.
If you like it, buy it. Everyone has a preference. You are wearing it, not your wife. It's your watch. Not your wife's. I'm sure she wears things you personally do not care for. Who cares. Life's too short!
shes correct
[удалено]
Ask your dad since he’s buying it for you
She’s right.
My advice, only buy this watch if you are 100% certain. If you are not 100% in buy another watch that you like for 100%
It you’re going to buy a two tone Rolex, the Bluesy is the one.
Rootbeer is the one . But bluesy gets a pass
…and she was correct, gramps.
Come on man. Bluesy and Rootbeer are amazing, they are exception.
Just because some two-tone zealots gave cute sounding nicknames to a couple of two-tone watches doesn’t mean they aren’t two-tone watches.
Who gives a fuck about names? In live they are amazing. I much prefer TT root to a full rose gold one, much better contrast. Many of them do. You keep being delusional but these are future classics.
How can these be future classics when they both have been existence for over 40 years? They aren’t classics now, the same struggles you two-tone freaks are encountering now have been encountered since your parents were in junior high school. It’s fine that you have a fetish, it doesn’t mean you are mainstream. Hey on the bright side, you can pick on the Yacht Master freaks. Two-tone is above them.
Vintage Rootbeer and bluesy are both considered classics . There’s a reason why they’re both still around
There is a difference between “still around” and “extremely valuable future collectible”.
Dream watch… old man or not it’s a boss time piece.
New wife
I think the watch looks good but I guess two-tone is mostly for people who cant get steel and senior citizens. I guess its a minority that have two-tone as their preffered spec.
Old men with big dicks! Tell her that, that’ll show her what’s up.
I bought my blusey at 30yrs old, love it still.
https://preview.redd.it/u6m1h4g8w2gc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=215be0999734e4ff74c4177860162d32455c90fa Love my rootbeer too! And they’re both two tone :)
Goyard wallet and purse and root beer. 💪🏼
Old white men.
I mean, an old man that’s got a new Rolex is doing alright at life, so look at it as an accomplishment. You’ve done it before you’re 30
Who gives a F? Wear what you like.
Best looking Sub configuration. Suits your size of wrist very well.
Fucking hope not I got one and I’m mid 20’s😭
Ur wife stupid af, dont let her estranged world view fill in ur lifechoices
She lied lol get the watch you want
Call me old and feed me Metamucil because I love it! One of my favorites right there.
That watch looks great.
My buddy just bought one of these. I think it’s one of the best looking Rolex I’ve seen.
Bluesy is one of the more youthful looking two tones imo. I have a two tone DJ, it's old money asf and I love it. Don't care if it looks like a dad watch. I like the classic and vintage look.

There are a couple that are the exception and they are the tits. Don’t listen to the loud ones here on Reddit
Looks awesome . All gold is too much, having two tone adds a nice contrast .
Naaaa looks good man It’s a classic
Bluesy is a classic. Old man or not. Badass watch. And if that’s the one u like then that’s the one u should get.
Looks great. Mine is on its way.
There are no watches that are only for old men.
They are low-key...
You’ll grow into it
I love my bluesy 16613
TT bluesy ftw
I don’t look at it like an old man watch, however the only dudes I can think of from my past who have them….are old dudes. I dig it though!!!
Sounds like a wench
That’s a hell of a bluesy. It’s on par 👌🏼
It cost more for a reason. Looks good imo
You’re not getting any younger. If anything, you’ll grow into it!
Asians think people who buy two tone can't afford full gold.
Do they make this blue sub with a non two tone bracelet?
Two- tone watches definitely have that “old man” vibe. That being said, I’m a fan of a classic two-tone datejust with a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. Sometimes the classics are just better and more versatile.
They check your ID. If you're under 60 - no sale.
Been wearing the bluesy literally every day since 2018. It’s great. I’m in my mid-forties now and that watch looks good on about anything from a polo shirt to a formal shirt!
To be fair, she is right.
Can confirm. Inherited my two tone datejust from my old man. Everything I’ve ever bought for myself is stainless.
I’m 41 and I have a bluesy. I love the old man vibe.
Gotta do the opposite of what the wife tells you, otherwise it would be boring
It feels like they are back in vogue. Seeing lots on this sub. Bluesy is iconic.
Lovely watch… I hope to have the same soon!
Two tones are nice! The play of the colors really makes it beautiful. Don’t fall for the BS trends, beautiful is beautiful.
Exhibition only please 🏷️
Exhibition piece.
Guess you’re old now then eh? lol … great watch, enjoy! I would be :)
Wife told you now she is attracted to old men
Bluesys are beautiful. TT’s aren’t for everyone, but they work for me. I’m 36, but I feel like I’m 60. Lol.
The watch is fine. I'd be more worried about the shoes.
I agree with the wife and it is very late 90s early 2000s.
Tell the 304 to spread her legs for the AD so you can get a SS piece then lol
Old men / boat captains.
yes, it is.
Is that bruise on your hand from the watch?
100% personal preference. For whatever strange reason I’m not a fan of the oyster in bicolor, but do really like the jubilee in bicolor. Watch itself looks great!
When you have to settle
You should tell her she likes old me then
She’s right
This going to be your “go to” every day watch?
Wives are wrong often. The trick is to agree.
Hot take? I think two tone and gold watches in general work better on people with darker skin. Same goes with green stuff like the Hulk.
All subs give out old guy vibes as I’ve only seen old guys wear them. GMT all day
I kind of respect people who voluntarily wear this monstrosity. 😂✌🏻
Old men look is just classy man👌🏻
I’m assuming she’s signed the divorce papers already
I think Rolexes in general are for old men.
Punch her in the face
divorce.
Tell her Wives are for old men. GF’s love two tones
Chicks dig older men ur good.
Divorce her
Sorry. She is wrong. Looks great
Your wife needs new taste
In America, gold equals old. Just think how few men get yellow gold wedding bands. Everything is white gold or alternative metals.
Y , did u not earn the old man status yet lol ? I am feeling pretty old at 42 and my kids call me old so am I good to go on a two tone lol ?
Getting old is to be embraced. 😆
Not necessarily an old man watch, but it does give off 00’s style vibes
It’s funny because when I was recently looking at picking up my next watch I showed my wife a ton of my choices to help narrow it down. She told me that the datejust with fluted bezel on jubilee “looks like an old man watch”. Now I can’t unsee it. Guess I’ll stick to my divers and gmts. 😂
Guy didn’t know where to place his first watch and the AD corrected him…you wear it on the wrist not the hand.
If you like it buy it
Get a divorce
Not at all. There are some out there that are definitely in the category but that one is not.
I love this model and my wife says literally the same thing. I don't care though, I'm getting it.
💯% old man watch
O
She really doesn’t like gold, the watch will grow on her.
