The real mark of true confidence is not giving a damn what some watch collector thinks. If someone is obsessing over your watch it says a lot more about their own insecurities and need to project then the wearer.
My father was impressed by Invictas at Costco. Any move I make at all will be an improvement. Missing you at Father's Day, Dad. Glad I got you that Submariner homage you liked.
This is about what watch enthusiasts like to think about their hobby. But very few people actually notice or care. The true goal is to provide justification for buying a luxury watch.
Retired CEO of a midsize company of a mere 2,000 employees here. I spent 12 years at the top of this Texas company and always wore one watch to work: a Mickey Mouse quartz-driven Timex. Everything you say in this interesting video may be true, but in my experience it is not accurate. In my corporate experience, at least in Texas, I can safely say “nobody cares”.
Most regular people do not care about your watch. Only people that enjoy and collect watches are the one's that look. Facts a $30 dollar watch and a $15,000 dollar watch both tell time the same. Wear whatever you want that works for you.
