Only me. Which is surprising seeing as I work in a law firm.

Rebel · 1 March 2011, 02:00 AM

Yes.

Lion · 1 March 2011, 02:11 AM

I am on disability and do not work...I'm the only one in the family who wears a Rolex. Wanted to buy my wife a Rolex but she said no!!!

GeoGio Greece · 1 March 2011, 02:42 AM

There are many Rollies in my work.

Some of them I have sold to them in the past years. I work there since 1983. Models vary from old AK to the newest C's, TT's and white gold Daytonas.

As I am the older user and the MOST fanatic about the Rolex firm, and they know it, they all ask me on advice on what to do for service, models to buy, etc.

They all accept me taking a photo of their watches, and I have a full album of them.

jeremyam · 1 March 2011, 02:56 AM

i'm not sure about the situation at my workplace, i'm not really looking, i suspect that the highest rolex penetration will be in a sales environment...

conservative workplaces probably see more leather and items that are more dressy and less sporty...

Dsaltydog · 1 March 2011, 03:17 AM

I was. I could not take watching one of my two partners wear his Seiko any longer. Two of us purchased him a 16610 from David SW last year. My other partner is strictly IWC.

psv · 1 March 2011, 03:33 AM

There are a bunch of them, I don't even count them. A lot more Tags though.

buccaneer · 1 March 2011, 03:46 AM

I wear a Seadweller and my boss has a Submarimer.

5517 · 1 March 2011, 03:46 AM

I work in IT and I'm the only one I know of.

I read a lot of technology sites and sometimes they will have an article on a new watch. Some guy in the comment section will invariably wonder: “Do people still wear watches in this day and age?” Always makes me smile. IT geeks just use their phones/ipads/laptops, I guess.

Launch Mini · 1 March 2011, 04:20 AM

Only me by a long shot. If you added up all the other watches collectively in the office, they wouldn't cover the sales tax on a Rolex.

00pumpkin · 1 March 2011, 04:57 AM

Only one other than me that I know of. Happens to be my boss. He has had three since Ive been working here. Explorer, Exp II, and now a SS Daytona.

esm · 1 March 2011, 05:04 AM

My boss wears my 116520. I just wear whatever I want on the day

(and I do most work too

)

pz93c · 1 March 2011, 05:13 AM

Nope.

The owner had a gold DJ.

SVP has a 2 vintage Omega's.

Boss has a TAG.

Jinder · 1 March 2011, 05:15 AM

No one at Rogers Cable in London has one. I should be the first this fall when I get my GMT

gettocard · 1 March 2011, 05:32 AM

I'm the little boss and I wear a SD,the big boss ( my dad ) is in love with his IWCs and he's quite a Rolex basher....

Dr. Robert · 1 March 2011, 05:38 AM

I am a gigolo.........a high class one......of course I wear a Rolex.

SteKos · 1 March 2011, 06:41 AM

Only one around work that I know of. There are a couple of "watch guys" I work with, but they don't own Rolex's.

rad87gn · 1 March 2011, 06:55 AM

Not only one in my company but definately only one in my group. Don't see to many ever at my work. Only seen 3 Rolex and 1 Panerai in 12 years.

Wooddog44 · 1 March 2011, 07:07 AM

I am a Director level administrator at a large university and am the only one in my office and department. At meetings I have noticed two VP level guys from other departments who each regularly wear a TT Datejust but not a whole lot beyond that.

MikelSS · 1 March 2011, 07:14 AM

No, the owner has a YG Day Date that he wears occasionally.

Dino - where do you work mate? i dont even see those kind of Rolexes at the investment bank i work at

Puffy · 1 March 2011, 07:31 AM

i'm a solid rolex wearer and the guys around me wear all sorts of fancy fashion watches like AP, JLC etc.

other than that there's a girl on my floor who wears a sub, and another girl with a GV. a dude i know in finance wears a sub ND

everyone knows about my obsession and usually ask which one i'm wearing - all the girls love the Root Beer, that's their fav by far!!

To the best of my knowledge there are no Rollies in my place of business, nor am I a Rollie. But there are several persons owning and wearing a Rolex, myself included, but I do not know how many others since we have offices in several countries, but I have spotted several during the years. From vintage to modern.

What I do? Currently I am off skiing.

With a Rolex on my wrist, of course.

An Explorer.

memps · 1 March 2011, 08:13 AM

APs and JLCs are not "fashion" watches. Both were making high grade movements long before Rolex came into existence.

Rolex Junky · 1 March 2011, 10:56 AM

I work as an MD at a large occupational health firm with over 1000 emploiees. As far i know i am THE only one.
