This is not a satire post no matter how pretentious it sounds.
Incoming summer here, I’m into wearing watches and have a collection of a few rather expensive pieces, but nothing very flashy. Is it a bad idea to ever wear these into the office? Would people really care? Thanks for advice.

All depends on the office. It would be a good idea to start out conservatively just so you don't risk anything. Definitely wear a few of your cheaper or more unique watches early on. If it's unique, no one will recognize it other than people who are also into watches. If everyone wears an apple watch and you show up in a gold two-tone submariner, then you'll definitely stick out, but nobody would think poorly of you for wearing a Bambino or a Presage on the first day.
Honestly people don’t give a single f to what you are wearing.
The fact is that if you grew up rich, you don’t even think about this (I didn’t and I did think about this all the time). But if you made the money yourself to buy the watch, tell people the story…
But if you don’t feel comfortable wearing it, just don’t wear it. There’s way more shit to deal with during the day than feeling insecure about your attire.
Nobody cares unless it’s some disgusting gold watch coated in diamonds
agree with the first comment - start conservatively.
also, if you are a pretentious dickhole (not saying that you are), wearing an expensive watch will just give people another reason to hate on you. On the other hand, if you seem like a good, humble kid, no one will give a single fuck what you are wearing on your wrist. But I do think there is a limit to what you can wear on your wrist - you just can't be wearing an RM or a tiffany nautilus or anything that stands out too much even as a FT junior regardless of your background
