I think I'm the only one on the floor, have not seen anyone else wearing one. Nobody knows that I'm wearing a Rolex. I'm an Electrical Engineer.

I'm in sales. Of about 12 salespeople, 4 of us have one. It's very clear who sells and who doesn't.

I work out of my house
But my girlfriend is now the proud owner of my TT Sub, so that makes 2 of us!
But the GMT2C is gone - but it will be replaced with another Rolex soon... So that still only makes one. Rob |

Yes. I'm a specialist cleaner. There's a few with Tags and Breitlings. The watch I've worn for the last 8 years is an Omega Seamaster. There's probably a few people upset by my newest purchase but I don't mind; I think if people are upset by it then they deserve to be upset by it :D

yes and I dont like wearing it to work. I actually have a cool seiko automatic that I wear to work. I wear my Rolex on the weekends. Most people dont wear watches, some of the sales guys have older tags.

Two of us in my division. The other guy has an 80s GMT Pepsi, and since yesterday, thanks to DavidSW I, too, have my own Pepsi (soon to be Coke). I have worn my TT Thunderbird, TT GMT IIc, and my Deepsea at work.

I keep my shirtsleeve covering it and tucked into my glove. :D I recommend this procedure to anyone with manual jobs who can't bear to leave it at home.

I'm the only one who wears a Rollie the three other guys I work with all use their cell phones to tell time. They also can't understand why my car has a manual transmission, when automatics are easier. I'm an operating engineer.

I've never noticed anyone else wearing a Rolex at work; nor do I really look. Most people I deal with wear sleeves, so if they are wearing I wouldn't be able to tell even if I was looking.... I did notice one fellow in a meeting wearing a nice Omega outside of his sleeve (on his wrist area instead of the arm). The beautiful blue dial caught my attention.

I am the only one in my office that wears a Rolex or even owns one as far as I know. I am in information technology for a Federal Agency.

We have six or seven that wear the Rolex brand. It is definitely the "high end" watch of preference.

I fly a Jet at a Charter company. Most of Captains wear Rolexes, being GMT the more seeing one. The Copilots goes for Breitling Aerospaces.

I own the company and I'm the only one who wears a Rolex.
I do have a good amount of clients who wear them though. |

I'm it as far as I know. My co-workers dress like they work backstage at a Circus (no offense to other Circus workers). On a good day I'm pretty happy if most of the people are keeping current with their hygienic needs. Seriously - I'm not making this crap up. I'm in sales so need to dress the part. Feel like a total fish out of water with these clowns, but my Rolex (and future Rolexes) remind me what I get out of the deal.
*again - no offense to any current Circus employees |

My boss, a female wears a ladies TT , and a coworker wears a TT Sub with blue face. Another co worker is a watch fiend and owns a variety of nice watches but won't spring for a Rolex. I wear a 16750 GMT Master Pepsi and a No Date Sub. We're in ad sales
