i got this pic from fakey's corner:
to put it in words, wear the watch for yourself and you alone, bcz you love it and love the way it looks on you. that translates in an intangible yet entirely authentic way. if you're comfortable and at ease with it on (and the rest of your overall ensemble doesn't look too contradictory), no one's gonna notice/sense a thing. but if you're struttin' about all puffed out, constantly shaking your wrist to draw attention to it, or talking to ppl cross-armed on yr chest so that the watch is somewhat near the face (don't laugh, i SWEAR to god i've actually seen n talked to ppl who've done that!), then it doesn't even matter if it's a gen, you come off like a fraud or a fool, likely both. n that's when ppl will whisper behind your back, that you're full of it, not because they necessarily notice the CG's, the rehaut, or that yr secs aren't sweeping, but bcz the PERSON didn't wear and fit the watch. that's with strangers and relative acquaintences.
for the people who know you well, it'll either be no big deal or pretty obvious: either they know you own nice things and this is just another addition. or they know you drive a dodge dart and likely didn't happen to fall upon a gen rollie lying on the road. it'd be like having a massively receding hariline n showing up the following monday with a full head of hair, hoping you got the really convincing texture (rehaut) and color shade (CG's) right, so no one will notice...
