Hey, Im new member here :)

My father is about to buy a new watch and he offered me to use his old watch which is a Tag heuer carrera twin time calibre 6 with the white dial.


Why Im not so sure about wearing this watch is becuase it maybe is abit "old mens watch" ? Im just 20. I cant say I dont like it but Im still not sure....

What do you think?

It will great on you with proper attire. I never thought TAG Heuer Carrera as an old man's watch. I'm not that much older than you and wear watches from TAG and Omega.

How "old man" can it be if Leonardo DiCaprio endorses the brand?

That is a pretty clean style, but honestly, when I think of old man watches, I think more of Rolex than of Tag. It sounds like you have a good story to tell with that watch, so no matter how it looks, I would wear it with pride. I have a friend who was given that watch for his college graduation and wears it with pretty much anything. To me that is a rather timeless watch.

I see where you're coming from, I guess I was still considering under 40 to be more youthful than not. He strikes me as sporty, I suppose. In my mind Roger Federer (Rolex ambassador) is younger, but he gives off a traditional vibe. Either way, I think a young person could pull off whichever one he wants--the man makes the watch, not the other way around.

Contrast is everything. You'll be an elegant young man. But you have to feel that way, or it won't work ;)

Thank you for all your opinions =) . I think ur right, it depends on your style etc. Im not the guy who wears cargo pants and hoodie, Im moore into blazers/shirts and now when I thought about it and reading your replys I think this watch will fit in very well with me :)

I'd wear that beauty in a heartbeat, but then again I'm an old man, LOL!
Actually at 49 I know a ton of folks would consider me still kid.
Back to the watch, I think it looks great. My 26 year old son I'm sure would wear it as well.

Well I certainly hope not as I just gave a Twin-Time Carrera to my stepson for his college graduation! He absolutely loves it and he's 22!

The Carrera is a classic vintage design. Not everyone will "understand" it, or have good eyes for it. It's like expecting the average college boy to see the beauty of a vintage car. Most of them will take an SLK over a Gullwing.
