They may not know its a Rolex, but they notice.

I like it when I am dealing with a professional in whatever business who wears a nice Rolex, wears polished shoes and drives a Mercedes.
To me this stands for someone who appreciates quality and neatness and would increase the chances of closing a deal with me.

So you’re not wearing your watch because of a small, tiny portion of people?

That’s your choice, but I’d never let one or two people dictate that to me.

Slightly more nuanced than that.

17 years wearing my 5 digit explorer II polar, one and only comment was from the cashier at the bottle shop saying nice explorer, this year. Almost invisible in my belief and exactly how I like it.
