I appreciate the replies. I've got a couple of ideas on what to get based on some of the responses. Confidence is not really the problem...I've gone against much bigger fish in much bigger cases...I've just never been to trial or personally taken a depo solo (I've handled large securities class actions that generally settle before trial). I'm just not an everyday dress watch person. However, I think that in this situation a nice watch would be appropriate. That being said, I can afford a nice watch (and own a few nice ones already), but I dont feel that spending that kind of money on something I would wear just occasionally is appropriate right now. I dont expect any watch to substitute for a good demeanor or strike fear into the heart of defense counsel, but I would like to purchase appropriate attire for the circumstance. Thanks again for the help

Very big newb here, but I'm in a bit of a tough spot. I need some recommendations for a nice rep to serve as a "credibility-gaining piece". I'm a junior attorney handling my first solo deposition and trial here in the next couple of months against some big wigs at a major defense firm. I've got the power-suit and I know that I can manage well in these situations, but I feel that a nice watch would add a lot to my persona both in the deposition and among the jury. Unfortunately, I just dont have the kind of money that the big dog attorneys are bringing home. I was thinking Patek Calastrava, but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. It needs to be dressy, but not completely black-tie-formal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
