I'm a sales director for large company and my team is responsible for $30MM in revenue per year, with an average deal size of around $45k. We get pricing push back constantly, as we are a high value offering compared to our competitors. Although we are worth it, we are typically looked at as being very expensive compared to other alternatives. We rarely move on price and, when we do, it's not much...basically a token gesture. Definitely an environment where you might think people would resent a salesperson with an upscale watch, as in "No discount? Why, so you can buy another Rolex?"
But the reality is that people want to buy from financially successful sales people. It indicates that you are good at your job, serious about your profession, knowledgeable about your product, and that you take good care of your customers. You can't be successful in the long term any other way.
Bring the right traits to the job and the watch will not be an issue.
Best of luck in the new role!
