I actually have a final interview with a firm coming up and was wondering whether to wear my Tudor black bay. it’s a preowned watch that I got for a good deal, but I’m not sure if it’s something I should bring as a student. it’s a black dial with a black rubber strap

No one will care, if you are super concerned it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Yes some random people might be jealous (not worth it to worry about this), but most people don’t care or won’t notice.
Usually stuff like this is only an issue if you are wearing something ridiculous (not expensive, just ridiculous in how it looks) and the firm is relatively conservative.
Don’t do it
Ask yourself what the upside is, and then ask yourself what the downside is. Probably safer to not wear it as IMO odds are higher that somebody is going to view that poorly than the odds that somebody is going to give you a bump up for wearing it.
Edit: Glossed over the actual watch - yeah it's fine to wear.
I think you're fine. It's not like it's a $150,000 A. Lange & Sohne or FP Journe lol. You can bring up that you enjoy buying/selling watches for a profit too as a side hustle during school.
Dude a tudor is not a flex do not worry. If anything I would see it as someone who is working their way up to a better watch over time and starting w a tudor. I wear a Longines and my senior guys are serious watch guys (jaeger, vacheron, patek) and appreciated that I 1) liked watches and 2) was wearing one which was appropriate for my age (they're like 2 - 2.5k max for most models) but not a timex or casio (please no one mention that GS's CEO or some other influential figure wore one as that clearly doesn't apply to a watch enthusiast)
I wore a tag heuer (yes I know they get a lot of shit from people that are into watches but a got a good deal on it) - roughly same price as a tudor at retail prices. No one cared, during my entire SA, so you’ll be fine as long as you don’t keep shaking your wrist to flex your watch and check the time.
It's fine, most people don't know watches anyway and don't care. Just don't wear a gold Rolex and it doesn't matter.
