Congrats! Wear it every day! No one will even notice it unless they have one. And if you have been reading through you know it didn't happen unless you have pictures to prove. Share!

Congratulations.

If I noticed a salesman or indeed anybody I was dealing with in business wearing a Rolex/nice watch it would make me think I was dealing with someone successful - which you are. So graciously wear it with pride.

You EARNED it. Wear it proudly. It' not a flashy, presumptuous gold watch. Congratulations.

Congrats on all fronts!
I was a bit self conscious right out of the gate, but as of yet, not one comment.
Also - If I see someone with a Rolex, it makes a positive impression on me.
Wear in good health and -
We need pictures!! :-)

Congratulations on your new watch and your imminent arrival! My wife and I are expecting our second any day now!

The over-riding opinion on this forum will be to wear the watch whenever you want and not care what other people think. I completely agree with this logic! Enjoy it, you've earned it! Also you'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't notice it!

Congratulations again and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum and huge congratulations on both your first (of many) Rolex plus your first child.

You've worked hard and earned it so wear it every single day!

I'm afraid to tell you but 99.999999% people will never even notice your watch.

Congrats and welcome! I too am in sales and rewarded myself to a Rolex after the a good year financially. So I know your exact situation and have struggled with your conundrum. The good news is, your Explorer is a fly below the radar Rolex.

Just fyi, I picked up an second hand Omega SMP as my alternative daily watch so when I visit customers that might take in a different light...I wear that one. Plus its basically bulletproof and can take a beating.

I have been wearing a Rolex while selling Air Conditioners since 1986. I had a good 2016 also so I picked up a brand new Yacht Master. If someone notices they probably are a fan and it makes for great conversation about your appreciation for quality.
