I've had this burning topic in my head for a while and I wanted to get the opinions of the respective members of this forum.
I'm a public service professional for a large local government organization in California. As a manager in a public service entity, my job requires a lot of interaction with staff and, occasionally, with applicants for public welfare programs. As such, I tend to be very careful as to how I project my personal appearance. I tend to dress professionally, but not too overboard as to call attention to what could be perceived as displays of 'luxury'.
I've discovered the watch hobby recently, and this has put me in a dilemma. I really want to get a Rolex Sub, which I feel I could proudly wear for the rest of my life, but I'm concerned about the negative stigma that might be attached to wearing such a watch. So for now, I stick to understated and slim vintage watches that don't call too much attention.
So what do you guys think? Have you ever had your profession dictate your choice on watches?
