Who actually uses a Rolex (or other watch brand) wallet?

Please share.

Are they suitable as an everyday wallet for carrying mostly credit cards and a few bills?

I love these simple Shell Cordovan wallets (expensive!):

I like the Patek wallet, but personally everything I buy that's leather is Tumi brand. The best...

A Rolex wallet?

Here's mine with my Explorer and DJ. It holds an awful lot and it seems I'll get another ten years out of it. I'm guessing that I've had it for about 5-7 years.

It costs about $40 now, probably a little less then.

I do. I use the green leather wallet everyday. Also I use the old style warranty holder for my transportation badge and for my office electronic key.

I use one like this and have for a couple years now. I guess I'm a bit nuts. I actually love it.

I have been using a very simple and very inexpensive Adidas nylon type wallet for around 8 years now and shows no wear.It has plenty of room for all the general every day carry and that's all I need no matter what watch I am wearing.

I use a fossil wallet though I don't wear their watches. Their wallets belts and other leather goods seem to hold up well and are reasonably priced.

Check out Saddleback Leather. Be forewarned: getting one of their wallets will only make you want to get one of their bags.

Never use a wallet . . .

The big problem for me is when I buy a new wallet I don't have any money left to put in it . . . . ;)

You are SO right. I have a medium duffel, never used. Then liked it so much that I bought one of their larger travel wallets that has a pocket for passports, etc. Also haven't used it either. I do like to sniff 'em though. The leather smells good.

The duffel is so damned heavy that I really don't want to lug it on an airplane - and that's empty.

Oh, I also have one of their front pocket wallets, but it's a little too minimal for me, so I carry a Bosco front pocket wallet with a built-in money clip. I do really like it.

You've sold me on Saddleback.

I'll go for the small bifold in chestnut (will ask for the thicker, stiffer kind).

Got my Saddleback today. Impressed with the quality, especially for $75 shipped (no Customs taxes!). However, I specifically requested an extra thick, double pigskin lined example but got the newer, thinner model. It's probably for the best anyway because these are much slimmer, and I don't need extra lining in the bill compartment since I will rarely use it.
