What Watches do Your Friends Wear?

[ROLEX MAN]

My friends don't wear watches, and they think I'm weird to wear one, they don't know what I have!!

[MURRAY]

Many I know just use their cell phones for referencing time...

Sadly none of my family or friends know I wear Rolex. They just wouldn't understand and it would cause more headaches than it is worth, so I keep my watch hobby a secret. Most either wear G-shocks, Seikos, cheap fashion watches or use their cell phones.

Friends wear Breitling, Movado, Rolex, Accutron, Timex, etc...

not to mention the Ball, Breitling, Cartier, IWC, and Panerai. One MD has a folex (fake Rolex). He has had for 9 yrs. It still keep great time.

The most popular brand at work Seiko!


I started this thread becuse of the MD stealing the watch from a patient. In a code situation, it is pure adreneline. You respond first and remember later, you try to stay as calm as you can. You do what you have to with what you have to save a life. It's called the heat of the battle. I know, I've been there many times! It's what I do for a living. I do it cause I'm a adreneline junkie!
Say this doc (stated by another member) went start an Arterial line in his radial to draw a blood gas, or an ordinary IV in his wrist, took the watch off and stuck it in his pocket in stead of dropping it on the floor(like everything else on a code). Let's say after you did all that you know to do and the patient still passes on. You lost the battle. You chart, dictate your report, drink some water, prepair yourself to speak to the family, get up out of your chair, put your hand in your pocket, you feel a watch, the officer on duty, comes to you and asks to search you. Remember these guy's and gals don't work a nice little 8 hr day like most! The go from the time they get there till the time they leave! 12 hrs at a time, sometimes more. You refuse to be searched cause you know you have a nice watch in your pocket, you don't want your reputation spotted, so you walk out and throw the watch out cause you know it's nice looking. In a code you don't have time to look at a watch and say, oh what a nice yellow gold Rolex day/date with diamonds you have there! We should give this MD the benefit of wrongful reacting to search, killing a patient to steal his watch? This is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I guess in the medical world, Rolex is common.


*taken from a tread a while back*

My friends that I hang out with? Most do not wear watches and use their cell phones to keep track of time. My wife wouldn't wear a watch if I didn't buy her one. The only watches I see are Grandma's gucci, Mom's DJ with bling, and Dad's SS Sub date. That is it!

So Mike as far as MY Friends with nice watches........... 0. They don't care about them. I guess if my parents didn't have them and my dad didn't make a big deal about them when I was growing up, I wouldn't care either.

Only one of my friends is into watches and he has a SS Sub... My family shares the obsession though which I used to make fun of until I bought mine. Now I completly understand as soon as I find a Daytona I like...it will be mine lol
