People write, "This watch will not age well". What does that mean? Are they talking about aesthetics and style, or dial and lume quality? I wonder if different people have different understandings of the term. Or perhaps it's a standard term in America for watches.
I'm in a part of America and read that term for the first time in your post. I think it's something a lazy critic would say.
It means that something that is cool now will look ridiculous in the future. Like platform shoes from the nineties for example.
lol- sorry, Mickey Rourke. He was hot movie actor in the 80’s, a heart-throb. He has not taken good care of himself.
Well for that matter, each of us can try this two step test... 1. Find your high school yearbook photo. 2. Go look in the mirror.
Some age better than others. When I was in high school, I was chubby with a head of curly hair- was teased constantly. Flash forward 30 years and I am not so chubby and still have a full head of curly hair- who’s laughing now assholes!!
That's what many people said about the PP Nautilus when it was introduced in the mid-70's, "it will not age well".....the rest is history.
He tried to become a professional fighter and got his face jacked up. He has plastic surgery and now looks like that. If he didn't become a professional fighter he probably would've aged better.
