Absolutely every day although I do tend to take it off when I'm coding and sleeves rolled up.
I currently have the SubC Date so it's pretty innocuous but my next purchase is a DJ either TT or SS (I'm waiting to see what Basel brings) and I'll wear that in rotation.

I fully intend to wear mine to work whilst in the office. I am finally picking it up next week and I cannot wait.

I won't wear it while onsite at a client however.

No, being in industrial sales, wearing a Rolex gives the perception that your margins are excessive.

I find this interesting. Why would you wear it at the office but not with clients? Is it that you think your clients would have some sort of reaction? preconceived notion of you? Or its an inappropriate environment (like welding or something)? I only ask b/c I deal with ppl of all ethnic and economic situations and I don't think anyone has ever acted any different toward me. If anything my office workers would say something but haven't. If the watch is YOU then wear it.

Congrats on your new watch! Looking forward to some pics!

JnmEaton.......

I am a software analyst.........so when in the office we do not see any clientele at all, just my coworkers, some of whom are WIS types, and have a nice collection on their wrists from time to time. There's no harm done in that environment, as we also have a parking lot full of MB, Porsche, BMW.....etc.

Onsite in front of the client however we tend to portray a very low key image. Software conversions from one operating system to another are stressful times for most customers, filled with emotion, fear and angst, so I don't want anyone onsite eyeballing my watch all week, and suggesting we get paid too much, etc.........

Indubitably. My coworkers and bosses don't care what watch I'm wearing.

Sean, I work on ships as well, never any problem with any of mine in the E/R or on the bridge for many years. Not even in the switch board room with a 3000V installation. Would not let that hold you back from wearing your DSSD.

Thanks man. I have noticed my watch went from -couple seconds a day to + a couple seconds a day it was a brand new watch so I figure the movement is breaking in still.

I may wear my BLNR to work once a week or so; only because my two JLCs are more apropriately suited to my business casual attire IMO.

I just bought a DDSD recently and I rotate it with my Panerai 47mm. I don't care what people at the office think. To be quite frank, I kinda like bucking the trend wearing larger watches since I can pull them off ;)

I don't let judgemental a-holes influence my life at all. Don't wear your Rolex if you choose to let them influence you.

He, who thinks that spending $$$ on a Rolex is foolish, is a fool himself. ;)

And, answering the question, yes, everyday, at work and off-work, although, it stays home resting when I go a few days out of town, either through work or leisure, and I take a lower-value watch like my seamaster.
I don't think it matters. They would probably assume it comes down to priorities and you value wearing a high end watch more than they do. Not for them to judge how you spend your money.

I could literally not care less what anyone else at work wears on their wrist. Not even my boss. I think the same goes for him. Who cares? Who cares what he spends his money on and why should he care what I spend my money on?

Trust me...he knows he makes more than I do. He has a huge house, a company car and a Skagen. I have a townhouse, an old Acura and a Rolex. I could give a crap about the first 2 items. I'm into watches.

I like to wear my Tudor Black Bay on a Nato instead. It flies under the radar. I save my BLNR for the weekends instead.

Every day also, life is too short.
