GMTs / divers generally look like crap with a suit due to bezel design / dial size, although there are some brands / references that could be pulled off in a formal setting. Highly suggest leaving the GMT for weekends as it'll be sure to attract unwanted attention in the office. Nothing wrong with a flex piece but the office isn't the place to do it when everyone there makes more money than you. If you want a Rolex that's more versatile / conservative and in the same budget range, consider opting for a Datejust, Milgauss, or better yet a Cellini / 1908 (new model). 

 

Well said - the GMT (particularly the Pepsi) is great for the weekend outfit (white t-shirt / chinos) but looks a little out of place when paired with a suit. I would probably lean more towards being on the conservative side as an Analyst while in the office in order to not draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Still get the watch but just be select about where you wear it. 

 

I say go for it 

but I’m not sure those are the best starter watches. I’d get a datejust, black sub, or something similar to start. Looks better with a suit 

Batman comes into play when you already have a few conservative selections. Or if you work in tech or something 

I saw a coder wearing a Cookie Monster sub the other day. Now that’s a flex .
