Rocking a PM Rolex at work place

Who do this. I sometimes wear my YG but mostly just inside my own office. My room also has a lock drawer where I put the watch in if I have a meeting with someone. I am pretty much conscious about my watch and so far has no one ever noticed a thing.

WG doesn’t count in this context. No one will know it’s PM.

Personally, I never wear YG or RG in the office, way too easy of a way to create a rift with co-workers/subordinates. And even some clients.

I agree unless I’m the owner of the business. Even then, maybe not.

I'd be much more self conscious about people seeing me play nintendo at work rather than them noticing which watch I was wearing.

Inappropriate in my line of work to do so.

I have “work watches” … Submariner … Black Daytona (no one knows what that is) … wear no watch at all … etc.

Too many jealous eyes below and above you.

I cannot role up to work in a Ferrari either.

If you are an Employee … your superiors are thinking - What side hustle do you have going on ?? And are you spending company time on it ?

If you are Middle Management … from subordinates - you need to pay me more … from bosses - how much am I paying you ???

If you are an Owner / boss … from your people - You’re not paying me enough.

Forget about it if you have clients … WHAT are we paying you ???

Doctors … inappropriate

This is just my opinion, coming from someone who is technically self employed / seen as a boss.

To the untrained eye, a fancy watch is a fancy watch. It's funny to me how we WIS tend to think that some fancy watches strike the un-obsessed as anything but just another fancy watch.

I only fly in my Cessna because the Gulfstream gives people the wrong idea. Similarly, the guy in the mailroom isn't thinking to himself, "well, that's only a Rolex Submariner he wears; he's totally down to earth."

I've never had anyone notice my watches at work. If you bought it to wear then you might as well do so. Enjoy it.

I may as well wear a rainbow Daytona with how my coworkers think a SS Rolex screams I’m rich or something.

As long as you enjoy it who cares what any anyone else thinks. With that being said be aware that people do judge you for what you have, right or wrong.

I’d wear any watch I feel like on that particular day. Can’t be worried about everyone else.

On Fridays I’ll wear a YG DD. I don’t care what people think in general, but definitely see patients notice the yellow gold more than the SS Sub. As a result, the DD is more of a weekend watch.

If you're popular and well-liked by everyone, the watch you wear doesn't matter. If you walk around the office with a superiority complex and treat people like peons, then it's probably not a good idea to wear a solid gold Rolex.

Hi,

I'd say if you're comfortable wearing any particular watch, and you want to wear it, then go ahead. From my mid-20s my daily wearer was a yellow gold Day-Date which was on my wrist pretty much 24/7 for about six years. And no-one ever said anything to me about it, for good or ill.

Nowadays I mostly wear a yellow gold Cellini on a leather strap, which is a bit less conspicuous (and certainly not a watch that obviously yells "Rolex", even to many of those familiar with the brand). But I wear it for no other reason than that I want to wear it, and I like it. Go with what makes you happy !

Ditto... on many levels. Thankfully, TRF doesn't have a dress code.

PM is what I wear probably 85% of the time period. Work home etc

Have I had a few comments in my mostly younger male dominated place of employment? Sure but I say the exact same thing I say when wearing SS, "oh you like this? Man Its fake"

I wear Glaushutte Original PanoMatic Lunar, and most people just comment "interesting dial/settings" because of its off-centre dial and moonphase.
And subsequent conversation just went quiet after I told them what brand it is because in their mind if it's not Rolex it's cheap stuff.
I am thinking to wear my Patek to office now.
