So my first rep is going to be an Omega, Tag Hauer, or Rolex.

I’m purely buying this as a status symbol around other execs, and to catch the eye of chicks at the airport. Flame all you want.

In your opinion, which of these three brands is going to achieve that? These aren’t watch officianados like we have on here; they aren’t going to know it’s a rep.

Thanks for any input or suggestions.

Edit: an hour later I’m down to omega or Rolex.

I like your style kid. None of those brands will get the job done in my humble opinion. If I was you I'd get an Aquanaut 5168G or a Nautilus 5726/1A or, why not, maybe even a Richard Mille or two. Execs heads WILL turn and the chicks will dig it. I think you'd be surprised how many of those "non aficionados" Execs know exactly what a watch is worth. Report back and give us an update please!

A Tag won’t even get you a bathroom handie from the neighborhood crack whore. Go with the Rolex but we need to see a picture of you to ensure we are giving sound advice.

Just go Rolex, way more obvious and recognizable. Make sure you don't go for a cheapie though (or an expensive but under the radar 'platinum') - just go full gold. Now go get that punani!!!!!

If that's all you want I would give a look in APs or a summer sausage can't go wrong

Rolex is the most recognized brand in the world. Execs might know patek and ap, chicks most likely won’t. If you just want attention get a Rolex. Preferably a daytona imo. Long ass waiting lists and high grey market prices for a gen.

Lol, I kind like your plan but tbh it has short legs.
Sadly, chicks do not care about the wristwatches. for sure you may find such who care, but you won't want to marry them nor spend anything longer than 24 hours. Sure they are good for One Night Stands, but if you ONS too often, soon or later you will use google for "herpes - what are signs?"
If she recognises you as rolex wearer, and she has a brain, she will expect a nice car, apartment and ain't gonna eat with you in Mcdonalds.
This is where the plan fails as you can not rep those.

That said, if you still fancy the idea - go for Rolex Hulk or Orange Planet ocean, those are not entry level models and are colourfull enought to be noticed.

Definitely an AP Lebron. It shouts money in your face... and it allowas you to go around shirtless and with a gold chain. No need of the expensive italian wool two pieces.

Love your style. Vote goes to Rolex. Any sport model will do. I personally like sub or GMT. Daytona will do it as well.

Omega is not the one if ur looking to flaunt wealth.

For status symbol, I’d go with rolex.
But why would you impress exec by showing off what you can buy or dressing flashy?
Can you not show off your talent performance or skills or knowledge on things related to your work?
I think top leaderships anywhere are more interested in what you can bring to the table for the company than what you can buy for yourself.

I love these responses.

I’m not trying to get laid, I’m 35 with kids and a wife. I like the attention and how women treat you when they are attracted to you; being good looking and rich gets you better treatment. Facts.

The execs I’m talking about are ceos and sales vp’s, and the sales VPs will care about an expensive watch.

I’m buying this or this, as soon as I find them from a TD other than puretime (bad recent reviews):

To add to the hilarity, this is actually my style and what I wear daily right now:
