Wear a SS SubC to a job interview?
I have an interview Monday for a job (I'm a physician executive).
Should I wear my SS SubC or play it safe with a more traditional type? I could wear the SS Explorer 2 (older style) that has a bit smaller profile. Thoughts? |

You’re asking if you should wear your Rolex or your Rolex?
A similar thread was started recently. I say wear what you want, but the field will be split here. |

I hope they would hire you based on your work history and not what is on your wrist. Wear the watch that you feel most comfortable in.

So many dynamics and I think at the end of the day no one cares unless they are a serious watch enthusiast

Play it safe...wear a white coat, overshoes and glasses.
PPE is always the way.

You're overthinking. Don't wear a DSSD of some gigantic gold Hublot, but no one's going to have a problem with an understated 40mm steel watch.

The black dial Submariner is an under-the-radar watch in my opinion. I say wear your favorite timepiece and dazzle them with your mad skills!

The most important thing is that you are comfortable with it. If you're going to be worrying about it throughout the interview, don't wear it. Otherwise go for it!

Go ahead an wear the sub and don't worry about it. I wore a GMT Master II to a recent interview and got the job. The watch didn't have any impact as far as I know.
Good luck! |

Hmmmm...
In this case, I'd wear the Rolex.... unless you're wearing short sleeves and a tie, they probably will not notice what you have on. I'd go with the EX2. Classic and understated. That piece just oozes rock solid confidence to me. I'd |

I can’t imagine an employer saying, “he’s wearing a Rolex Submariner, so let’s not hire him.”

I say wear it. When I see people wearing Rolex watches, I tend to appreciate their value of a good watch.

Don't wear anything. Like it or not, there will be people who will judge if they notice so why take that chance?
You lose nothing if you just take it off for the duration of the interview. |

Wear whatever makes you more comfortable, since you have to be yourself and confident in the interview, if you do a bad interview the watch doesn’t matter.......

You’re a doctor with management skills. Any advice you get here is worth jack squat.
Me personally, I’d wear whatever makes you feel good.

Wear whatever watch that isn't going to distract you during the interview.
You shouldn't be wondering, "I wonder if they're looking at my watch" or "I wonder what that look was for...he/she just glanced down and noticed my watch"...you get the idea. They're all distractions that don't need to be going through your head at the time. Good luck!!

Unless the interviewer is a WIS or into watches, he probably woudn't notice.

All he gets is positive comments and was recently hired (with years to go on his residency) while wearing said watch. I hire lots of people. In the end, t’s all about you. If the watch makes you self conscious don’t wear it. If the watch adds to your confidence, wear it. I hate these “under the radar” comments! |
