whatever you like, but I would say understated and beautiful, maybe the Blancpain leman,
aqua lung, grand date........

or live dangerously, and get a perfect red sub.

brandrea · 25 February 2014, 11:23 PM

I'll chime in here, but I think it has way more to do with your own sense of personal style than your profession.

Good luck deciding.

milgauss gv on a leather band.....the faraday cage will ensure accurate timekeeping whilst one travels back and forth through metal detectors as one consults with incarcerated clients....:)

i hear vet jokes all the time.....

cwru32 · 28 February 2014, 02:40 PM

get all gold or patek :)

I like black dial watches but again there is no rule, beyond that I also like the sporting models like Daytona or Submariner (the latter having the date feature advantage).

Great advice Steve.

But you gotta practice what you preach.

You were nice to let one of the poor try it for size and weight.

An amazing Rolex.

masterserg · 28 February 2014, 02:59 PM

A stainless Daytona ... or maybe an AP ROC (stainless as well).

RNS510 · 28 February 2014, 06:10 PM

I'm the senior lawyer at my firm and do nothing but transactional work. I wear an Explorer 1 around the office and a TT Submariner after hours.

Malak · 28 February 2014, 06:58 PM

British lawyer love watches from glashütte.

Nomos

Andad · 1 March 2014, 08:15 AM

The Glashutte sapphire sandwich is very nice.

MetalNuts · 1 March 2014, 10:58 AM

Senior lawyer? Senior means age or post? If it is age then choose watch with simple dial, chronograph might not be the best since it has too many circles and hard for an old man to see clearly in some environment. Further, lawyer in different practice might choose differently, steel bracelet will present solid confidence to litigant whereas leather bracelet might suit a commercial lawyer. I myself, would prefer day date though I only have DJII.

enricotambunan · 1 March 2014, 08:30 PM

If you're a personal injury lawyer, no watch.

If your clients are corporate, DD, sky dweller, or any PP or AP :)

HogwldFLTR · 1 March 2014, 08:40 PM

I'd go for one that run really fast so more billing can be done.

andpassport · 2 March 2014, 12:38 PM

Air King

EricG75 · 2 March 2014, 12:56 PM

TT Sub

Malak · 2 March 2014, 08:08 PM

Datejust or OP

VICI · 2 March 2014, 10:37 PM

This thread is still being commented on... I'd like to know what the OP decided on.

For everyone that is saying for professionals to hide their wealth (success) - the only time I agree with that is a landlord who collects rent from their tenants.

Otherwise, if someone is "worth it," they shouldn't be scared to wear whatever they like.

That's the problem with our society, many people are scared to show what they have for fear of being judged - when the only judgement should be of questioning how one did it and if a young associate wants to be like the partner, follow in their footsteps. Drink the same water, eat the same food, work the same hours.

There shouldn't be any shame in having achieved success.

andpassport · 3 March 2014, 02:42 AM

A counterfeit

Danny83 · 3 March 2014, 02:47 AM

41mm datejust dial color of your choice.

zion_rasta · 3 March 2014, 03:25 AM

Hamilton Jazzmaster to wear in front of clients or office

Then buy a Rolex DJ II or GMTII or Daytona for when you need to show your success to your buddys and family.

If you keep it down to earth with your clients, you will get more business, but again it depends who your clients are...

If your clients are like Justin Bieber and the like, by all means out watch them...

submariner123 · 3 March 2014, 03:48 AM

Casio.

mikkibarry · 3 March 2014, 05:39 AM

I wear many different ones in my work. Today it's this one. And yes, I'm working today. Trying to get a new job, or get a fledgling firm off the ground, one or the other, else you'll see me lots in the FS section.

patek97 · 4 March 2014, 03:59 PM

stainless steel Daytona
patek rose gold 3919 on strap
iwc Portuguese rose gold on strap

kaiserphoenix · 4 March 2014, 07:57 PM

I would avoid a flashy or overly expensive watch, your clients will think you're earning too much, and thats not good. But then you dont want a crappy one either coz then they would think youre not getting business! A 2nd hand patek or something like an explorer I, or GMT would be good I think.

MonBK · 4 March 2014, 08:00 PM

I couldn't care less what he's wearing but if he has to ask I would stay far away from him.

zama · 4 March 2014, 10:18 PM

Stop watch that chimes in 15min increments based on my lawyers who bill me close to daily

Do they make them with rattlesnake bands? If so get a gold DD.

illiguy · 4 March 2014, 11:05 PM

I'm an attorney and the Sub Date - 16610 - works well in an office setting.

Nissanzx1 · 4 March 2014, 11:40 PM

Many choices for this purpose. However, I would expect my lawyer to have a Rolex president in 18K YG. A good backup would be 18K YG Submariner.

Cheers,

Shola · 8 March 2014, 11:58 PM

I am a solo practitioner and I wear a tt datejust with jubilee band on dressy days. I also wear a tt submariner blue dial and a navitimer on sporty days.
