Too flashy for the office?

Are these watches too flashy for the office or should I stick with the classic white/black face?

Obviously this one would be appropriate:

Agree that none of those are too flashy.

Analysts who wear Rolexes (is that the plural of Rolex?) are probably douches. Especially if they wear the really flashy basic model Rolex. If you're going to buy an expensive watch, I would recommend a much more understated IWC or something.

Knowing this forum, the topic of which watch to wear has probably already been debated extensively. I personally think more or less any watch is fine as long as it's not a Mickey Mouse children's watch. Seriously, you'll be absolutely fine with a Citizen or Seiko.

 

agree with transatlantic. I'm wearing my $11.95 Armitron with a yellow face and shiny silver band from Wal-Mart this summer at a BB. Right next to the livestrong. Had that baby since the first day I came up to college. Its got sentimental value.

 

You are still wearing the livestrong and to work? Ha

One of my Managing Partners who has more money than he knows what to do with wears a $10 watch from the gas station and dresses like a slob. Granted that wouldn’t really fly in banking as everyone is so appearance-conscious.

I'm a big proponent of doing whatever the F you want. Choose a watch that you like and don’t worry about what others will say about it.

 

All 3 are nice. I'm partial to 2 and 3. Either or will be fine, I just don't like leather bands. Never have, never will.

Transatlantic, any particular Rolex models in question or anyone wearing a basic Rolex in all gold that's been blinged out?

Also, I've got to agree with the understated look, and you can find any brand with a watch that's dressy and understated. That just requires some searching though.
