Understated watch at work

[ismelllikepoop]

I know its been beaten to death, but I'm going to ask it again. Usually wear my gshock spike lee to work to keep it simple, but recently have been wanting something nicer that flies under the radar. Was thinking about the Pelagos, black bay, thc, or maybe an explorer I. I do like the idea of the explorer, but I kind of feel the Rolex on the dial flies in the face of trying to be understated at work. Anyways just curious what people's thoughts were.

an ss daytona can pass as a cheap watch if people don't know watches

I think he said that
because M. Kors copied the Daytona and have a very similar look to their own version

and to non watch lovers, they will assume its M.Kors at a glimpse

Actually Patek is a better choice.

I wear a SS Tag Carrera with black leather strap. Looks classy but flies under the radar. Not very noticeable unlike a Rolex.

+1. - especially a model without the chron function.

Explorer or ND sub. I think maybe 1 or 2 people at the very most notice my ND sub. 99.99999999999999 percent of the people don't notice or care about the watch you are wearing.

Who cares what others think. Buy and wear what you want.

People comment on my seadweller a fair bit, but its true that if they don't know what it is, its not a big deal. I mean a friend asked me if my offshore was a diesel watch. I try not to care what others think but previously i had an m3 and suddenly everyone knew about it and not in s good way

Did he mean was the brand diesel or did it run on diesel..?
