People just don't care as much as we do...it's a fact.

Anyone who is conscious of appearance and marketing can put two and two together. Don't have to be a WIS to know that a watch is special. Just have to be observant. I've had plenty of people compliment me on my watches without knowing what they are.
I think if you are concerned about being judged in your sales position then you are right to question wearing it when meeting with clients. Even if it's just one customer that gets the wrong impression then why take that chance.

I think there's a subset of Rolex owners for whom this is a disappointment. Some owners seem to think people are thinking about their watch as much as they are, and that could not be further from the truth.

Couldn't disagree more!!
This isn't a private cult we're in, it's an accessory we wear and enjoy, that accessory is marketed pretty well and is in the social sphere. JMHO
