Obviously we all have our own circumstances, so I’m generally wondering: there is a difference between the watches we dream of and the watches we wear.

When I wear mine, I need to be not too flashy for clients while keeping it professional. I earn $105k as a middle manager in wealth management (MCOL), and the nicest watch I own is an Omega Seamaster ($5.9k).

Affordability aside, I’m weighing how much “nicer” of a watch can I get without “out-wearing my wage”.

I’d love to hear how others have approached this intangible; I can make my own decisions just looking for anecdotes.

    I work in among the most conservative industries in the world and have never heard of that. If that’s true, I’d consult a therapist rather than a watch sub.
