Establishing your reputation with a watch? Bleh. Who cares. Anyone important doesn’t. The only thing that I’d care about is if some junior analyst is wearing something worth 50% of their net. If they are, then they’re clearly an idiot or a trust fund kid, and I wouldn’t knowingly hire either.
We get it geo, you live in Calgary, have an awesome life without following the traditional grind, and all that big city stuff is for losers. Thanks for checking in.
Even in a big city, people reach an age where they realise that reputation isn’t based on what watch you wear but the results you deliver. There is nothing wrong with wearing a nice watch if that’s what you want to do. And there is value in being dressed for the job. But the idea that you’ll be limited in career because you only have a Casio and the other guy on your team wears a IWC is crazy. This is the mentality that drives all these people driving borderline luxury cars they can’t afford or don’t even enjoy. Like I said though, if you like nice watches, wear one. But don’t expect career changing benefits from your watch.
Completely agree with those points.
Your original post came off a bit anti-watch IMO.
what are your thoughts on Breitling?
i feel like its a douche bag watch for dbags to show off since its so big
^their dials and bezels are way too busy for my taste.
I like some of their more conservative styles, like the SuperOcean and Galactic. You’re right about sizing, though; unless the wearer has a large wrist, anything bigger than 40mm generally looks silly. I lean more toward Zelos Chroma or Helmsman myself.
