Undercover in plain sight
My BP is often my grab-and-go companion when I have to run errands. While out the other day at a checkout counter, a young man in his 20s noticed the watch and commented “nice watch, is that an Invicta?” It took me a second to process in the moment, but I replied with a smile “thank you, no, it’s an IWC, Big Pilot.”
I recalled that many Invicta pieces are oversized, and it was nice to see a young man take notice of a watch (in a positive way), but I wasn’t sure he knew about IWC. I never want to come across as arrogant/superior or more privileged than anyone else, and I’m pretty sure my response didn’t come across as such, but I hoped my response wasn’t abrupt still. Nonetheless, it was a nice quick exchange, and support for my BP as a good unassuming choice for when someone randomly notices my watch.
