So many ‘luxury’ watches out there that wouldn’t even get a second glance.

For your situation

I agree with your thoughts about flashy watches in your work environment. Just wear a classical independent with fantastic finishing and no one will be the wiser. For your hobby it sounds like it's anything goes.
I was just sharing my job/hobby background as an example

But I have no interest in wearing my MG Tefnut or any other watch to work. That's just out of a personal desire to minimize any distractions while working. The question I was interested in was if there were any other particular settings where people find ...

Anything low key doesn't count towards my question however

No one I know would give a Patek minute repeater a second glance, so of course a watch like that can be worn by just about anyone in any setting. I'm more curious about when it's okay to wear the types of watches that will immediately raise questions and ...
I'd say pretty much anything...

In white metal, modest size, no diamonds and on a leather strap and you would be good to go. While you may know what things cost, I dont think the vast majority of people could tell that a 5970P is any more expensive than a Breitling Chronomat on a shiny ...

My rule is to be as unobtrusive as possible and fit in with the environment. Unwanted attention can be uncomfortable and in some environments, dangerous. In other situations, you'd call attention to yourself if you were "underdressed."
I completely agree!

Which is in large part why I'm curious about what settings people manage to wear more conspicuous time pieces without attracting that type of unwanted attention

in the weapon sales( research laboratory)high end watches are not a problem , i think you guys make the highest margin comparing to other industries .
Exactly my knowledge

based on the movie Lord of War ,NC had a YG DD which is flashy enough to my taste😂
Any watch. Any Occassion. Any Time.

No rules I'm wearing this one today and it even has a white strap (and it's not even summer!!). The lady at the Post Office this morning said "I don't know what that is, but it looks very expensive!!" LOL!! She's right Don't over-think it, the masses here...
Another thought I had relating to this...

Having a wife or girlfriend definitely adds some social acceptability, as it will dismiss the notion that you are trying to use your watch to get laid
Weddings are an interesting example
By: jleno : February 26th, 2019-17:42
I think any white metal Rolex is perfectly fine. But there probably is some point where this becomes a faux pas. As a wedding guest, I think the general rule would be to avoid wearing anything significantly more expensive/flashy than whatever the bride/gr...
My response was more towards invited guests btw
By: jleno : March 1st, 2019-10:32
But since you work at the venue, the limit is probably higher. Anything on the dressier side in yellow/rose gold maybe even with diamonds is likely acceptable.
Okay, I've been thinking about this a bit more over the past few days.....

I've compiled some of my thoughts below, feel free to comment! Keep in mind this is just for fun and I welcome disagreement Watches at work: Best case scenario here is if you work in the luxury watch industry. If so, I think this is perhaps the ultimate c...
I agree with you
By: jmpTT : March 1st, 2019-12:35
Your thoughts could form a best practices guide to wearing fine watches. Most of the people here will, of course, not strictly practice what you preach. For public service and prominent leadership positions, there is a sense that the positions themselves ...

from experience, I suspect you may be overthinking this
By: donizetti : March 3rd, 2019-10:12
I used to worry about this a lot but I have learnt that only a miniscule fraction of people pay attention to watches at all and if they do they are not unlikely to also be enthusiasts and appreciate them for what they are. I work in academic medicine and ...
