Got My Gold Watch

The first Rolex I ever put on belonged to my Dad. It was the Day-Date in silver, and I wore it all the time during a phase in high school when I was obsessed with men's watches. Well, high school was a long time ago, but luckily, menswear is back proving that the Rolex look truly is timeless.

If you're like me and don't have the cash for a Rolex, here are some tips on finding good-quality, alternative gold watches:

* Make sure the gold isn't too brassy - anything too bright will look obviously cheap
* To be on trend, make sure the watch face is simple - subtle numbers, basic colors
* Menswear is supposed to be oversized, but don't overdo it
