Do you guys wear Rolex to work?

[Rolexlover123]

People also say, "don't dress for the job you have, dress for the job you want". So, if you subscribe to that philosophy, then go ahead and wear your lex in and out of the office. For me, my boss also wears a Tag and I have no issues wearing my Rolex watches because I know (1) he is a standup guy and is not threatened by what's on my wrist and (2) I'm not wearing it to show him up, it's merely for me.

So on weekdays, i leave my sub on the watch winder. and I wear it on the weekend when i go out.

how about you guys?

[MTdweller]

Yes, BLNR all the time. 99% of people DON’T EVEN NOTICE what is on your wrist. Life is short so wear what you love and don’t look back!

[stefanweei]

I wear them all the time. No one bats an eye. Maybe except for a colleague, who sometimes comments new purchases with envy, but I really don't care. 99% don't notice your watch.

[Chaching]

Damn right I wear it to work but then again I am the CEO!

[ashullscachull]

Yes, but I have to admit when I got my first I had a cover story about how it was an unexpected gift from my grandfather so that my boss (who wears an old Tag) wouldn’t look askance at it....

Good book. My wife and I listened to the audiobook on a very long drive home.

[robert.h.wade]

Wear it daily.......else the kids will inherit something that's pristine....and being as they are both girls it'll either get sold or given to whichever young man manages to weasel his way in!

[wulin]

Why not?

[novae500]

sure do wear mine to work.. some have noticed, others have no clue at all.

[Zingari]

"Just like that!" Have never really taken mine off wherever I've been.



It was a bit bloody hot in that Green Zone

I'm glad to see all these responses, as I am a new kid here, still anticipating ownership. I'm not big on being a show off (or tolerating them) so it's nice to hear that the few people who notice are those who appreciate a nice timepiece.

Along these lines, a former neighbor who ran a small business out of here home saved for a long time before she bought a Rolex. She said that as long as it took her to be able to buy it, she was going to wear it every d**n day! I think that's a good approach.

[~Haze~]

I’d never let what someone else might think determine which watch I wear.

Well, I mean I do volunteer at a homeless shelter and at a place that does work with people suffering from active addiction. And I take off the Rolex when working with the homeless because i think it would be in poor taste to to knowingly walk into an environment like this wearing a luxury watch.

But other than that, it’s Rolex all year round. I don’t care what other people think. I mean if you’re looking for cliche sayings to rationalize wearing a watch, try out “dress for the job you want, not the job you have”.

If you think a Submariner makes you ‘overdressed’, then overdress.

I just bought this a few days ago (dec 24th. The day I started and finished my Christmas shopping). I figured it might make a good gift for someone (with no one specific in mind) and ended up keeping it. I plan to read it next.

[acfcheung]

I wear daily (even my YG Daytona). My boss wears a gshock. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need me to wear a cheap watch to make him feel better.

The bastard knows too well how much more he gets paid than me!!!!

I wear a 2 tone Rolex Datejust, jubilee band, fluted bezel which I purchased new in 1989 which makes it 30 years old this year. Still running strong and I wear it work everyday. I paid $2,750 for it in 1989. So, over 30 years, that's: $91.66 per year...or...$7.63 per month...or in a 20 work day month, that's 38 cents a day for me to have this watch on my wrist at work. Plus, I could turn around tomorrow and sell it for $4,000 if I wanted to. Yet, I have had people say "you're crazy to spend that kind of money on a wristwatch!"

Yet, these are the same guys that show up every day in the morning with a Starbucks Grande Cafe' Latte' in their hand that they paid 5 bucks for at the Starbucks drive-through window on their way to office....which is 13 times the daily cost of me wearing a Rolex.

Just do the math and ask...which one of us is really the crazy one? I'm wearing a Rolex and you're drinking a cup of coffee. Which one of us is really the crazy one?

Read the big birds words of wisdom..... very very good advice !!

[kbar]

I wore nicer watches than most upper management at my last job.
I invested in two businesses friends of mine started which at first we're just spending money, but got to a point one of them was making me more than my Corp job.

I feel like in nyc people don't care as much from my experience.

[logix1229]

all day, every day! Didn't work this hard to be able to afford one and not wear it.

This is absolutely correct. I laugh when people make comments like these as they are generally from the guy that has the $80K truck, with a garage baby sports car at home, a motorcycle, two snowmobiles, a couple of jet skis, a 400 inch tv and a boat. It is all a matter of what you want to spend your money on.

As for me, I am in law enforcement, so I only wear it to work if I’m not in a uniform that day. I have a Tag F1 that I wear most often when I am in a uniform.

[007_Omega]

Starting an entry level corporate position soon and I'm a bit hesitant. I'd just put it under the cuff but people will still see it eventually.

The idea that people don't notice what's on your wrist is ignorant. They may not say anything but people do notice. My only Rolex is a Sub and that screams the brand and people have said nice watch "what is it?" or "is that a rolex?" or simply "nice Rolex/Sub."

I live in an area where people flaunt status. I'm a watch lover and love Rolex. Most here are only wearing the watch for the brand name.

That being said, I like dressing well and carrying myself a certain way. One of my managers told me that they recently implemented more casual attire changes. While I'm ok with others wearing jeans on casual days, I'll just do me.

[airchitect]

Might die tomorrow, wear it today. My boss wears a friggin Skagen and makes 3x what I do.

[Big Green]

I'm in sales in the finance industry, and the Rolex Sub is widely known. I actually wear my IWC (ironically more expensive than many SS Rolex) and no one notices a damn thing. The few times I've worn my BLNR, it was noticed. I prefer to fly under the radar in my line of work - don't need to make my customer notice a nice watch.

[Daryl]

I rotate my BLNR, Speedmaster pro and Tudor northflag. speedy and BLNR gets more time /week

[Aymara59]

I do every day. I enjoy wearing the different Rolex models from my collection. Be thankful and wear your Rolex in good health!

[Killbill]

Most definitely. Just gotta have your go to daily wear Rolex.

[Old Geezer]

All day, everyday.

[spect]

Every day all day mate

[Ian Macdermott]

Yes.

A bit pointless owning one otherwise.
