I didn't realize you were linking to some strap seller's account. I wanted to check out the watch, not normally into square watches, but that does look good. Not into watches that expensive though. I would not be comfortable walking around with it.
This was right below when I clicked on your link and I absolutely love that strap on that black watch. Makes me want to find a black watch to match that look.

It's a statement piece that I wouldn't mind having one day. I'd also get it to serve as a reminder to myself that hard work pays off.
If you get the opportunity then slap it on your wrist (2019 model) and see if it does anything for you.

I understand all the arguments for the fancy watches, but it can't overcome my own feelings of anxiety to wear something that costs over 5k on your person. I can afford something technically. I just have overwhelming paranoia about it. Especially when you understand how easily someone who knows watches can identify something at a glance.
I'm also not hanging about in affluent areas, so there's that. If I was guy in office work and socializing with other office worker types. I'd definitely have a bigger watch collection. Embody the American Psycho watch battling lifestyle. Like that Key and Peele hat bit.

Watch collecting is a journey of upward nobility for me. I wear what I'm worth and it doesn't make me uncomfortable. I want my grail piece though.

My worry is about getting mugged. If I was going to fancy event, which is not something I do, I wouldn't have a problem flaunting.
