It won't give you gravitas. Take it from me.

Good to hear; absolutely no justification for that addiction these days. FWIW, started smoking at 13 and quit freshman year of college, thank God.

Looks like a vintage GMT...

Well, you will get respect from old watch-obsessed Rolex enthusiasts, but I guess that is not the kind of person you are trying to impress

I wasn't trying to impress anybody, except for the woman who became my ex-wife.
