Its more about not wanting to rub the noses of those less fortunate/talented/lucky/wealthy in the simple fact that you are wealthier than they are.

Not everyone has less becase they can't be bothered to better themselves.
I guess, but isn’t that really the same thing?

If you celebrate success then good for that person. You don’t think in terms like, “Wow that guy is rubbing his success in my face.”

It’s a very similar mentality to me, they’re two sides of the same coin.

Of course I don’t live there, I only work with people there and visit. As with everything it depends on where you’re at.

I would and have worn my PM YG pieces to work here and nobody ever said anything unless they know about watches. TBH I’d also wear in the UK if I wasn’t concerned about it getting ripped off my wrist
