Bringing a polished Rolex just might be a bit over the top but I could be wrong. Rolex has nothing to do with status for me - craftmanship and tradition = keywords.
Honestly, I don't think that you can go wrong with the GMT. I'm not a fan of Breitlings - they really ARE blingy IMHO (with the possible exception of the Aerospace) - but in any event, I think you'll be surprised quite how few people will realise that you have a Rolex on your wrist.

Good luck with the move to the 'bus. Start rehearsing the phrase, "What's the damn thing doing now?" and you'll be fine!!

Buy a SS GMT & have the PCL's brushed out. It will look great with a brushed bracelet
