Wearing a Rolex to work - Small business owner

[Tush17]

Do you think wearing a Rolex as a small business owner who primarily has general labour type employees (8-10 employees) would negatively effect me?

I am finally in the position to be able to own a Rolex and it sucks that I may not be able to wear it to work (where I spend most of my time) out of fear of pissing off my employees.

Thoughts?

Wear it proudly, you own the place..They have a job due to your efforts

I say wear it at will mate, it all depends on how you do it. In my opinion the best way to wear a Rolex is as if it were nothing but a tool for telling time, though there are those who will wear it with unnecessary pomp and circumstance. Try to avoid that, remember your timepiece is a noble instrument for watching your life wither away and not a element that puts you above anyone else. If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, or talk with kings nor lose the common touch.... You'll be fine, haha

I'm in the same boat. I figure I'll wear mine on weekends and special events. As for work days my G shocks will be just fine

I own a small business with 10 employees and i work myself too... i wouldn't be bothered about what my employees think about what's on my wrist.. besides i'm the boss and i gifted my longest and most loyal employee a 14060 sub for all the years of hard work he has done for me.. and it also sets an example to other employees to work hard and work smart.. don't worry about what they think of you and just enjoy your rolex...

Why not wear it and enjoy

[njbeizai]

My dad has about 5 employees and he wears a solid gold
Rolex every day.

My uncle owns a restaurant and makes pizza in the kitchen with his 16618 sub. Next to the cooks and dishwashers.

Are your employees into watches?

I'd wear it. What kind is it BTW?

[Jeffreyw2014]

Wear it and enjoy!

I think that a Rolex would only be a problem if its the straw that broke the camels back, meaning that if your employees resent their working conditions, then a Rolex on the wrist of their boss might be the last thing they'll want to see. But if everything is well with your business and your relationship with your workers, then wearing one to work shouldn't be a problem at all!

I wear my Tudor BB to work on Saturday's and sometimes during the week when I am scheduled to do a consultation with a customer. I normally dress up a bit more for those meetings, rather than wearing older clothes that will get dirty during my daily work.

Start off wearing it occasionally and then if you feel comfortable wear it more often.

Nicely said, and good point.

Everyone is different, if you don't feel comfortable, then don't wear it. Depending on the above, I would wear it everyday, as I do in my small business!

Exactly!

Why buy a Rolex or any other higher end watch and be afraid of wearing it? You bought it because you enjoy it, have the means to purchase, or just love watches. So IMHO, if you are hesitant about wearing your Rolex in any situation, then you should not have bought it in the first place.

That's exactly how I feel. Assuming you're a reasonable boss then why worry.

I'm not a SMB owner but I work with quite a few subcontractors who are. I like to see them wearing gold watches.

[overthehill]

i wear mine everyday.

I can't understand why so many are concerned about the watch that they have on their wrist..

People judge you on way more than the watch you wear.. A Rolex is a lot better to wear than many of those ostentatious gigantic drug store monoliths you see on so many wrists today.. Besides, 99 people out of a hundred wouldn't know a Rolex from a Timex..

Have to agree Larry perhaps if you wear a Rolex it transforms that person into superman.A Rolex is just a watch yes a expensive one but still just a watch,which in the real would doubt if most would even notice or care.

It is amazing to see someone's attitude change just because they put on a Rolex. Unfortunately, the attitude usually changes for the worse.

There's a small Italian deli I go to often, the owner is always wearing his DJ. Over the stove, moving pots of soup, in and out of the ovens... You can tell he's the hardest working employee in the place the first time you walk in. I think it shows he's been successful at what he does.

[inzite]

seriously, better offload that thing and pay em more if that's where the fear is at.

[Chewbacca]

sure. wear it.
