A Hello And A Question of Appearance

[Ridire]

Hey all,

New member here on TRF after a bit (ok more than a bit) of lurking about. I appreciated the conversations and knowledge to be gained. As such, I figured this might be a good place to come with a question concerning wearing/appearances with a Rolex.

So short story lead-up; I'm a non-trad med student currently sweating through boards and such. I decided to reward/motivate myself to get a 'proper' diving watch. I already happen to have a Breitling Avenger GMT and an Omega Aqua Terra. I recently also had a Chronomat, however, I found it felt more like a shackle on the wrist (and I couldn't see wearing it in any situation I wouldn't use a G-Shock for instead). Thus, I traded the Chronomat in and went for a Sub ND, as I generally disliked the cyclops whenever it was on the wrist. I also like the clean lines of the ND and hey, I have a phone to know what day it is and harass me with reminders, etc. I bought the Sub for myself; I prefer to go 'under the radar' when wearing a watch and would rather it be an accentuating piece than draw way too much attention.

All that being said, the question I had concerned appearance and general wear. I put the AT on leather to use as a 'dressier' sports watch, and I put the Avenger GMT on rubber as a full sports watch of sorts.

I was curious about how much 'attention' is grabbed with a ND Sub vs other watches, as I probably would be wearing it with sleeves etc vs, say, at the beach. Do you find it relatively easy to wear without getting eyes all over it, or do you find it to be more a showy piece and one I should be more, well, circumspect in wearing? I want it as a daily wear (to alternate with the Avenger), but I was worried about things like the lack of AR coating, ceramic being shinier, etc. Do you find this a significant issue?

I appreciate the help!
