How conspicuous is it to wear an expensive watch?

Thinking about adding the Seiko Sarb033 to my collection. Has a classy, black dial, and doesn't " scream look at me." That's the reason why it interest me. I would change the bracelet for a leather strap. This will give it a more casual look. Funny thing is, I have several Rolex watches, and I regularly wear my Timex Weekender, and Expedition Scout on Nato straps from Clockwork Synergy. Love the simplicity of both models.

Doesn't fit at all under my french cuff shirt and barely underneath my normal shirts. I'm surprised because it doesn't seem that big at 42mm and fairly reasonable height.

Looks good! I’m debating one of the divers. For $600 micro brand feels like lots of value. I haven’t fully committed yet tho. In case I add a panerai base to my collection... as those prices have been coming off
