it's difficult to tell whether some people walk on eggshells around me because i'm wearing a grail piece or just because i'm a complete prick.
i'm fine with either.
more seriously though, i think if you're wearing a mid level piece like a Rolex sub or a Breitling Navitimer, something with some wrist presence, people will assume you're not an idiot. Afterall, most people cannot afford to put a $5k - $9k piece on your wrist.
However, if you walk around with a solid gold rolex or a serious Patek the rest of your first impression (clothes, posture, gestures etc) is probably more impactful and more immediately noticed than the watch.
