How conspicuous is it to wear an expensive watch?
I've had my eye on a Panerai (Laminar 1950 GMT Ceramica) watch for a little while, but I'm honestly wondering how it would be perceived wearing it daily.
I don't get a ton of nice things, but when I do, I get them to use them. My M3 is a daily driver and, personally, I derive most of the pleasure of ownership from the fact that I can treat it like a normal car.
It would be the same with the watch. Frankly, I don't want it if I'm only going to wear it once a month, but there is something ostentatious about wearing a nearly $10K watch to work that's even greater than rolling around in a $70K car. I know I could ignore all the haters, etc, but negative perception can make things harder than they need to be.
I'm down for spending significantly less, but I just haven't found a watch that has the style like the Panerai. I don't like spending money on something I like 75%, especially since I've got this far by checking my phone for the time.
Thoughts?
