I run into this too. I am self employeed. If I wear my Omega to a kickoff meeting, or an interview, people may take it that we are overpaid...
Same thing with the car I drive. I don't drive a Mercedes or BMW. I could if I wanted to, but I go conservative. I have won jobs because another consultant was driving a Mercedes and another one was driving a Porche. It is all in the perception.
So, for interviews, I have worn watches that are a little lesser known such as Oris, Debaufre, UTS, Stowa, etc.. but I stay away from famous expensive watches. Once we get the deal, then I don't pay too much attention to my selection for those meetings.
