Significance of Pelagos?

I agree with this sentiment but I wonder what everyone considers are the potential negative consequences of wearing say, a Submariner, to work?

None. I am a teacher and I wear a submariner most days. I couldn’t care what others think. Not one bit.

As a retiree I no longer worry about it, but when I was dependant on contract work it was a very real concern.

I was very well paid, and could demonstrate significant 'return on investment' to my clients; but, I didn't want to show any flash to those clients or the other folks I worked with. Enough people, especially accountants and office support staff, thought we were 'too expensive', but the real decision makers (geologists) saw our/my value. On one project, my client directly credited me with preventing a two week delay on a project that was costing him $750,000/day. That's a $10,500,000 USD savings.

At the time, my Pelagos hit the 'sweet spot' for me and its still one of my favourites, but my Submariner itch is getting stronger.

Blackbay (Diver) 41, 54, 58 = Submariner / Seamaster
Pelagos = Sea Dweller / Planet Ocean.

All IMO of course, but were in the same neighbourhoods.
