Yes - a Rolex is a pretty standard watch where I work.

That pic was taken on an Airbus 321 which I currently fly as well as the A330 for the long haul flights.

Prior to Airbus I was Boeing 757/767 for many years.

And for years before that flew the DC10's (Still the best plane ever to grace the skies IMO).

how about you guys?
I didn't spend hard earned money on a sub so I feel uncomfortable wearing it because it might offend my boss. If I'm making money then so is his company if anything it looks better that a subordinate has a rolex. I wear my sub everywhere unless its the gym thats why i bought the most durable rolex IMO.

Depends on the day. If I'm not going to interact with people much I sport my Sub. Other days, I'll wear my E2 16570 polar which is toned down and draws less attention. Other days it's a vintage Seiko.

On the weekend though, my Sub is on every d@mn minute.

I do. I couldn’t imagine not wearing one. Especially not for worrying about what someone else might think.

Exp2 also at a construction site.
Only the assistant accountant and jr controler complimented on the watch.

Nobody cares, not even me since I wear it for me and me alone.

I am my own boss, and yes I wear my Rolex (or whatever other high end watch I happen to be wearing that day), to work.

The only Q is whether to wear S/S or precious metal, and for daily wear, I usually wear S/S.

I wear mine everyday, mostly vendors notice, and only if they’re into watches as well.

Wear my YG sub everyday to the office. What’s the point to have it if you don’t wear it?

I’d lose lots of respect for my boss if he was wearing a Tag AND judging me for wearing a Rolex.
