Just get whichever watch takes your fancy for God's sake, what does it matter if every other ****** in your place of work has one? This isn't primary school

You turn up flashing a yachtmaster and calling him VP and he will call you a **** and send you on your way..

As unlikely as it is the major investment banks are looking to herald in a new era of post-wideboy graduates. Unless you want a job on the floor yelling phrases then leave the yachtmaster at home and adopt a refreshingly 'different' look.

A subtle yet elegant fitted Paul Smith suit
Crisp herringbone white shirt single cuff, classic collar (try Pink or Charles Tyrwhitt)
A conservative, formal striped tie
A pair of standard-gloss black brogues or oxfords (if you can afford it Berluti or better still John Lobb)

Smythson billfold wallet optional

If you still want a watch please ditch the 'lex and get yourself a Patek Philippe or Breitling Navitimer. You may be able to salvage some kind of respect from your prospective employer if you keep that 24k hunk firmly up your sleeve..
