I work in IT within the financial services industry. I see a fair amount of Rolex watches in my office on both guys and gals. Also quite a few Omegas and Tags.

One other guy at work is into watches. He has a SD and a YM. The only Rolex I own that I would wear to work is my AK, and I wear it once in awhile.

Only one other. The VP of sales has a TT GMT. No-one sees mine as it's kept under my shirt sleeves. There are plenty that could get them if they want as they certainly earn more than I do but I'm sure they all have their reasons for not making it a priority.

So far, yes. There was a guy who had a fake but I instantly told him that. It didn't even look like any of the Rolex models

There are Rolex wearers at my workplace and many of my clients wear Rolexes also.

Yep. Plenty of folks can afford them at the office, but don't go down that road. I do get a lot of compliments on my Panerai and 1655. Those arent common in my neck of the woods.

There are 4 Rolex's at the tattoo shop I work at, 2 are mine and 2 belong to another artist. Don't tell anyone but I think it's rubbing off on some of the other guys as well (Evil Grin).

I am the only one wearing rolex in my work place. There is another guy who wears an Omega Bond Seamaster Professional. He might be the only one who notice my Rolex. I don't advertise it and nobody seems to notice which is good. I am a military musician.

I am not the only wearer in the office (but am likely the only wearer with 2 - Daytona and SD 4000) - the Partners in my office have Rolex DJ's, Zenith chronos, or Patek.....I work as a Management Consultant in the Middle East.

I'm an installation technician and everyone I work with thinks my GMTIIc is fake. Probably because I wear it without care to work, doing manual labor. Only take it off when I'm dealing with live power.

I work in law enforcement and whilst there are plenty of senior officers who could afford one, most have come up through a system where an expensive watch on the wrist would be a nuisance. Robust, reliable and disposable are the key requirements.
Most wouldn't be interested in frills like watches, but the few that are, wear TAGs.

I'm a circus worker!!! Well I certainly do work with f***ing clowns every day (I'm in Construction & Waste Management) but yep I'm the only Rolex-wearer/WIS: & I get plenty of stick over it from the co-owners (who are all pretty much 'on the tools/hands-on' & don't even wear G-Shocks or beaters). Knobbers.

On the rare occasion I'm at the companies home office, I'm the only one sporting an Oyster. Working in airports across the US and beyond I see Rolex's everywhere.

I run a heavy construction company with my father and 2 brothers. My brothers wear Brietling, Omega and PP. I bought my dad a TT OQ for his b-day several years ago because he's not active enough to keep his 40 year old DJ running reliably anymore. He just loves it.
