LT, I was just busting some stones.
But the WF Propel is a pretty flashy aluminum card.

Anybody can get my cards. Amex charges are the easiest to get.
Citi Exec UW is probably the same as your DC.

Why buy a super expensive car, or house, or possibly even clothes when I can display my wealth with a Centurion.
Not that my spend qualifies but $5K a year or whatever it is, sounds like a bargain if you care about such things.
Size of the "impressed" group! Some cars are obviously flashy and expensive, so those easily impressed will be impressed, and similarly when you drop into conversation (quite spontaneously) "Oh, I do like coming home to my 10 bedroom house in [desireable place]" Clothes are harder because not everyone will recognize the cost of the items. But centurian: well, for those impressed most would have been equally impressed by the Plat (or even Gold) which would have been an even better bargain. And yes, some will know the difference, but these will be MyFico types, and you don't want to hang around those sort of people, as anyone hanging around on an internet credit card forum is almost by definition Not Worth Impressing.
Laugh, speak for yourself bud!
Actually though I think the number of people that would recognize the black Amex is FAR larger than you make it out to be; quite possibly 5-10% of America would understand that.
Actually we have datapoints: Zync and the number of people that Oooohed and Aaaaahed over it.
Right, wrong, or indifferent: people know what an Amex is, and when you see a rare Amex it's going to be assumed impressive. My theory on it anyway.

But your Sig does.......
Yes, but for real world use, a sig is pretty hard to use to impress. "Oh, let me bring up MyFico on my phone and oh yes, there's my sig. Let's just mouse over the cards to see the limits..."
Oh ye of so little faith

Not quite the same thing, but I literally saw someone post their 850 screenshot which looked like the myFICO UI as one of their profile pictures on a dating site not that long ago. Of course, she didn't respond to my hi haha.

Citi Exec sounds more prestigious than double cash.
Lol! If you think so, it only gets used to get into the admirals lounge. If I didn't like to travel I would have CB cards rather than travel cards for perks and reward system.
As you can see I don't have one CB card.
