Meeting manager for the first time, which watch?

I second this. Wear a monocle too with it and make sure you carry a cane or a bag of money.

Hopefully he isn't a member here. Your inability to choose your own watch doesn't bode well for your career.

He knows how much he pays you, wear whatever you want. If a rare circumstance exists where you are compensated substantially more than the rest of the team, maybe wear something else. I still probably wouldn’t though. OP 41 is pretty low key, most won’t notice.

I could go into work with a 500k watch and most if not all people wouldn’t notice. If you are worried about it I would avoid any Rolex but I don’t think it really matters, you wear the watch for yourself

Note. I don’t actually have a 500k watch

I wear a vintage Tudor whenever I'm going to either a job interview or first day/few days at a new job. It's very subtle to the point that no one notices it unless they actually know watches. Once I scope out what others are wearing, I might switch to something a bit more flashy.

It's unfortunate, but a Rolex (perhaps more than any other watch) can give off a very negative vibe.

Quick story: I worked as an Assistant District Attorney my last year of law school and wore a Submariner during a trial. I (well, the State) won the case and the public defender walked over and said, "Man, the State must be making a killing off innocent folks to get you a Rolex." It was really annoying to hear, but I switched to a Casio the rest of my time there to just avoid the unnecessary encounters.

Either th OP black or the Apple watch (which I personally hate like 99% of Apple products, but that's another debate). On second thoughts, the OP. Make sure you don't show it off and remember it's just a watch.

If I were a mugger I'd keep walking and be like WTF I don't have time for this sht, let me head to Vegas and look for turquoise OPs at the club.

I’d go with the Apple Watch the first time. Better to be understated. You’ll be meeting others on your team as well I assume. While it’s true only watch people notice other watches, you don’t want a watch person to notice if that person thinks the watch is too expensive or too flashy for your position.
