I wear my GMT everyday.

colpol · 8 July 2011, 08:12 AM

I wore an Omega SMP to work for 10 years & now my Rolex SD for about 6 years.

Agree with other posters about why buy the watch if not to wear it !!

You earn the cash & have the right to buy\ wear what you want

I have a Tridor with a diamond dial and bezel .. I have no problem wearing it to work even though I weat a GMT or my AirKing most of the time .. I never take time to wonder if people think I am a show off .. It's not my problem if people dont like my taste in timepieces

Keeperoftime · 8 July 2011, 08:37 AM

I wear a fine timepiece daily. I wear mostly Rolex but every now and then an Audemars or Patek. Everytime I look down at my wrist I am reminded of my goals and the rewards of success.

Z-Sub · 8 July 2011, 08:45 AM

Everyday. If I go home for lunch, I may change to a different one if I feel like it!

My boss wears an Omege Constellation.

how about you guys?

Dress for the job you want. If you aspire to be a manager, dress like managers in your company, or better.

Dress for success! Wear that thing with pride!

I'm Retired so I don't work.

BarkMaster · 8 July 2011, 08:57 AM

Of course.

Dr.Brian · 8 July 2011, 09:01 AM

I wear my Sea-Dweller every day. I wouldn't wear a Gold Day-Date to the hospital though. I think that sends the wrong message to my patients. Maybe Platinum though! ;)

I wear my Sea Dweller every other day or so, in rotation with an IWC Pilot Chronograph. When I need to go somewhere a bit dubious through work, I wear a £20 Casio.

If you are afraid of what your boss may think about what you wear on your wrist, there are larger unresolved issues involved.

rolio · 8 July 2011, 09:33 AM

I wear mine when I swim, at work, grocery shopping, watching the game, range shooting, working on the sprinklers, etc. But, I never wear it to weddings--somethings are just too taboo.

Agreed, they notice. I was worried a bit about this before I bought mine, but I dress better than most daily so I stopped worrying about it too much. I do tend to pull my cuffs over it in meetings though, but I'm sure that will wear off too.

Traveler · 8 July 2011, 10:17 AM

Yes I do.

landroverking · 8 July 2011, 10:19 AM

Yes you must be joking. If your boss is that thin skinned you need to start looking for another job.

HongNinja · 8 July 2011, 10:30 AM

I am also in the tech industry and work for a very well know computer company, and although I am the only one wearing a Rolex at work, there is a brad new Breitling Super Avenger that I just saw hit the wrist of a coworker.

Plus, my boss makes more then me. I know that. He knows that. Everybody knows that. Doubt he cares whatsoever I have a Rolex on my wrist. I think everyone assumes I came from inheritance or I'm a drug dealer, irregardless i don't care what people think about me wearing it. I worked hard for it.

WEAR YOUR WATCH! Stop worrying about what others think.

AJMarcus · 8 July 2011, 11:06 AM

Work and play. That's why I bought them. But I guess it can depend on where you work as far as how comfortable one feels. But I could not justify spending thousands on something and not enjoying it how it was meant to be enjoyed!

rr-nyc · 8 July 2011, 11:13 AM

Never dress nicer than your boss? My boss wears horrible, mis-fitted suits and scuffed up shoes. His dress shirts are three sizes too big and his ties are nylon, not silk. Although he wears a TT YM (practically swinging around his wrist because its too big), he chooses to dress like that. I will never, ever dress down just because he's my boss. That said, I wear all my watches and as always, my Panerai always draws attention.

In the corporate world, you dress for the job you want, not the job you have

wangany17 · 8 July 2011, 11:14 AM

Everybody's got their something. Our something just happens to be watches!

Watchdog · 8 July 2011, 11:26 AM

Of course I wear it to work. My Rolex is part of me, on my wrist everyday. It's nothing to be ashamed of. If it were, I wouldn't be ready for a Rolex.

I wear the 1981 GMT daily. Several guys in the office wear Rolex. The last boss had a two-tone Submariner.

kmangino47 · 8 July 2011, 11:36 AM

I always forget that I have my airking on, when I'm at work. Police, sometimes I take it off and put on gshock. But lots of times I just roll with it in uniform, looks a bit outta place. Lol

Sub to work every time. I've tried to switch over to something like a G Shock... but it never works.

tripleC · 8 July 2011, 12:01 PM

I wear my Rollie everyday everywhere anytime. Because your boss doesn't were one really........

rolexgolfer23 · 8 July 2011, 12:07 PM

All the time

RollieKid · 8 July 2011, 12:09 PM

I wear my Date to work...no one notices it unless I roll up my sleeves...hahhaha

folexhater · 8 July 2011, 12:10 PM

I do and my boss won't care because he's a gazillionaire! He probably thinks of Rolex as just another dust in the wind!

mocheen · 8 July 2011, 12:13 PM

I wear my Rolex whenever I can. On gym days I tend to wear my Tag. On fridays I usually wear my PAM 111 since it is casual and Polo shirts can be worn. I have had co-workers ask me if my Tag was real. I doubt very much that they would think my Rolexes were real. They probabbly see the green bezel and think that there is no way Rolex would make a green watch. I do not even think anyone in my office knows what a Panerai is. I wear the Panerai, because I can enjoy it without being judged.

normandy · 8 July 2011, 12:33 PM

Yes I do and nobody knows what it is.
