No, we just like to put our feet up on our desks with our hands clasped behind out head as we assume a semi reclining position, the best posture when thinking "Executive" thoughts.

The watch only comes off when in scrubs, then into the left front pocket and under the lead it goes.

Wore my TT Sub everyday to work for 15 years but the area my auto dealership is located has eroded over the years so I stopped wearing it to the office a few years ago for personal safety reasons. It's safe enough during the day but many nights I am the last to leave and just didn't feel good about having a watch that cost as much as many of the cars on the lot.

Yes, I wear mine to work. I manage a warehouse, so when I'm on the floor there is a chance it could be damaged. I enjoy taking a little risk

I'm in sales so I have a picture of the next Rolex near my phone to motivate me to pick it up and up sell my current book of business as well as call in leads and the dreaded cold calls.

I'll wear either a GMT II or Tudor chrono unless doing heavy work where scratching is probable, then it's an Oris.

I am a proctologist, and I just put surgical gloves on at work and have never had any complaints or problems. I think it gives my patients confidence when I wear it.

Just joking. I wear my 2 Rolexes to work all the time along with my Omega. I am an attorney, and find that the black GMT ll is my suit watch more often than the LV, but both are with me often. No reason not to wear one.

Too funny!! But, so true!!
The best comedy is reality! I wear my GMT II, it helps me think as I recline in my comfy chair, as I plan world domination.

I have worn my GMT-II daily for the past year that I've owned it. I travel a bit for my job, so the ime function worked well. I have rarely gone a day without wearing it.

Now, my newly aquired LV I don't plan to wear to work for awhile, for the sole reason that I don't want my boss thinking he's paying me too much. However, I may wear it and if anyoen notices, I'll just say I changed the bezel. They wouldn't be able to tell between a GMT and a Sub ;)

I wear mine to work every day. I didn't at first, then I caved. I was afraid something would happen to the watch, or maybe I would get negative comments. But alas, not one single comment and the realization I would have to shoot the watch or something to really damage it set in, so now its my daily wearer!

I work in an office environment, in Information Technology. No issues wearing it to work. Occasionally I am reaching into server racks and stuff, but I usually do it without thinking of the watch.

I mostly wear my Rolexes to my normal workplace but if I am going to be working in a shady area of town, I leave them at home.

But it also depends what I'm doing that day at work.
