It's true...some managers do judge....

my cousin's boss told him not to wear his Patek at work because she didn't want other employees to gossip about over-paying him. Now, he wants to buy a Submariner to keep it low key.

Ironically, the sub would probably raise more eyebrows than the PP

Venture to offer:

1.) If it was fake and you recognized it, then it would have been appropriate to take the kid under your wing and offer sage advice on why it´s not kosher to wear a fake. But you didn't tell him to ditch the watch, be it fake or not, so this is a moot point.

2.) If it was a genuine rolex, then why couldn't one conclude that the young man is success driven and the watch is a testament to his interest in continuing to strive for "bigger-n-better" things?

exactly what I was thinking


but people are so judgey... I get OP's point(i don't agree) which is why I am aware of my watches in certain situations
