Wear it if it brings you joy.
Leave it at home if it makes you uncomfortable.

Most people don't notice. Your car and your dresscode are much more noticeable.

I rotate based on who I’m with and what I’m doing.

I wear a watch (Rolex or AP) pretty much 24/7 no matter what I'm doing. Buy to enjoy ALL the time!

I wear my 116610LN to work everyday. Non-watch people either don’t know or just know it’s a nice watch. Watch people appreciate the brand and quality. It is all good, life is too short to worry about what people think. I just think about how I think about myself, work hard and play harder!

I work government, so in most situations, it’s the most expensive watch in the building. I’ve been wearing Rolex to work for the last 33+ years.... no issues...

Turns out someone else makes the watches for that jewelry company. Maybe??

Never heard of the house of David Yurman. Maybe on the wrong side of the House of Patek street....

I didn't get my first Rolex until after retirement, mostly because I didn't really focus on them. I wore a tasteful Hamilton tank for years, fit nicely under cuffs.

It's funny that starting around age 45, I owned a series of BMW's, including one of the first Z-4's. Not because I wanted a flashy car particularly, but just because I liked them. Yet I have a feeling I would have been uncomfortable wearing a Rolex to work (though I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered).

There's no accounting for the inconsistency of the human brain.

Understand your concern, but if don't flash it around and tell people what it is, most will never know.

Wear it to trade if for a Tag like your bosses. But do something so you can wear a watch you like.

Im second from the top. My boss isn’t a watch person so it would take me wearing an iced out full gold watch to even ask questions, not that it would matter. So long story short yes I do.

I worked for a company where 1 partner is a billionaire and the other 2 were close to it. 1 wore a 5167, the other 2 didn’t wear watches. No qualms wearing a nice watch around them.

I earned and saved for my watches. They were not paid for with a Credit Card or Financing. I wear them wherever I want.

Most people don't care anyway...

(FWIW my Speedmaster was an Anniversary gift from my wife)

Yes, wear one of my Rolex or other Swiss watches nearly everyday. Most others don't care and I don't care about proving myself or laying low so as not to offend the non enthusiast.

I wear my Explorer II at work everyday... only one WUS co-worker knows and we talk about watches at times. He wears his Omega FOIS everyday too. Other people dont know or care... they just compliment my clothes, bags or electronics... casual wear of course as I’m in high-tech company.
