I would recommend not wearing any of those watches for a job interview.

You can wear any one you wish, but when you enter the building, put the watch in your pocket.

You want the employer to focus on you, not your watch, and if you're focused on the interview, you won't need to know the time.

Isn't the obvious answer to wear whichever looks best with your suit? Ultimately it is not how much money you spend on your appearance but how much style you convey.

Wear the one that make you the most comfortable and confident for the interview. Then you won't be worried.

Which watch should I wear on the interview.

#2 DSSD

#3 HULK

#4 WG Sub

Since I love the glidelock, and #1 doesn't have it.........#1 out.
DSSD maybe a tad bulky..................................#2 out.
-----------------------------------------

Between #3 beautiful SS, with some Green sparkle and #4 WG bling.....will anyone know what it is.....(I will).....so if they are not interested in hiring me....well at least I still got my Smurf.

Opinions ?.............I say more folks say #3.....because, "YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I GET ANGRY" (sorry for the caps, but that was the, "HULK", speaking.)
WG SUB! Hands down...

I want an update from the OP! Which watch was worn, and an after-action evaluation of that choice, please.

I think I went with the Hulk. Since that interview I have picked up a 116610LN, much to my wife's displeasure.

Interview went fine. But they wanted me to work to many hours and that would interfere too much with what I currently do, which I didn't want to totally stop.

Any Rolex is a good Rolex...........except diamonds on a guy IMO

Did they notice your Hulk? Do you have an idea for which watch to wear next time? I thought this thread had a lot of interesting, and differing, opinions.
