Every Day,
I've had a couple of comments from customers that I'm making too much money. I responded with it was a gift from my father and they shut up.

Power Play · 8 July 2011, 12:54 PM

Of course I do. Every freaking day. Rotate 'em around. And I don't think anyone even notices. But I like it!

Buy 'em, wear 'em and enjoy 'em!

Rennfahrer · 8 July 2011, 12:57 PM

If I ever get a snarky comment about my watches or car I usually laugh it off saying that it's the way I roll. I stopped caring 15 years ago when as a first year investment banker and bought an Omega Seamaster pro, my boss bought one too and wore it the next day at the same time... I thought it was awkward, and exchanged it for a Speedmaster.

DCgator · 8 July 2011, 01:03 PM

I mostly wear my Rolex watches to work and some days the SMP, Pam 88, Zenith, etc. Only three guys in my division wear Rolex, me included. No one cares or notices, and, I don't care anyways. I have these watches to wear. :D

KiKo · 8 July 2011, 01:21 PM

All day every day

mocheen · 8 July 2011, 01:40 PM

People in my office seem to make harsh judgements especially if you own nicer things than they have. They cannot just be happy for you. I just tend to save very hard and buy things that I like. When I drove my new BMW to work they kept asking me how I could afford such a nice car. I told them that my wife makes double what I do. After them asking if my Tag was a fake I would rather hide my watches from them rather than risk their comments. I kkep them under my dress shirt hidden from view, while sneaking glances at them from time to time.

I'm a systems admin for a federal agency and I support judges and staff. I am the only one in my office to wear a Rolex (except for some visiting attorneys). I don't care what they think, pro or con because strapping my Rolex on everyday gives me pleasure. I usually take it off at night (at some point) but always look forward to strapping it back on.

eyen · 8 July 2011, 01:51 PM

I wear my Rolex to work everyday. No one even notices, maybe they are not watch guys.

gold canyon · 8 July 2011, 03:16 PM

Every single day... and multiple rotations on the weekend.

boogiebot · 8 July 2011, 03:23 PM

Everyday in my office!

nch209 · 8 July 2011, 04:06 PM

Every day for me!!!

gtb5 · 8 July 2011, 04:34 PM

If boss doesn't even wear watch then what?

93 Turbo · 8 July 2011, 04:43 PM

Yep.

Colnago · 8 July 2011, 05:24 PM

I have not worn anything else on my wrist for 25 years (this coming November).....I am never without a watch on my wrist, until I fairly recently bought a couple of Tudor Chronographs, it has always been a Rolex.....I have had very few comments over the years...certainly none to worry or be embarrassed about....at home, on my bike (cycle), at work in the office or even at work offshore....I bought them to keep and to wear....when they are passed on they will have history my kids can relate to and not be just "that watch Dad kept in a box"....

520Matt · 8 July 2011, 05:54 PM

I wear Rolex, Omega every day... and once in a while running watch! you have to remember the 80/20 or 90/10 principle! cheers

gucciposh · 8 July 2011, 06:06 PM

i used to adore my Gucci watch before my hubby got me a Rolex. And now i wear my Rolex anywhere i go! ;-D

Don't get bothered of what people think or talk about you. In this case, what makes you happy counts n you deserved it!

duckdown · 8 July 2011, 07:07 PM

I wear mine *everywhere*

I have never been fan of babying it.

It's a watch. And a damn fine one at that!

RolexWatcher · 8 July 2011, 07:13 PM

In my line of work, I see lots of people wearing Rolex, AP, JLC, PP etc but to be honest, no one really stares at your wrist unless they are a WIS like us (which I found very little at my work)!

Mistry · 8 July 2011, 07:56 PM

I have 3,

1 for work, 1 for general days out and one for fancy times like weddings

but i end up mixing which is for what lol

all in all always have 1 on my wrist hehe!

errol0_7 · 8 July 2011, 07:58 PM

I wear one everyday everywhere, thats what they are for no?

al_bongo · 8 July 2011, 08:15 PM

No don't wear my sub to work. Too much of a hassle in health care. It was spending more time in my pocket than on my wrist so bought a Casio for work.

R.mojo · 8 July 2011, 08:27 PM

Im working as a contractor, and even if its not very appropriate i still wear it.
Its a real timepiece, people can think its uppropriate or maybe even a fake watch. But i dont really care, why should i?

Im also working as a bartender, but then i wear my Omega Speedmaster

steubi1 · 8 July 2011, 08:36 PM

Yes, of course I do.

So on weekdays, i leave my sub on the watch winder. and I wear it on the weekend when i go out.

how about you guys?

Well, I think a lot people (present company excluded) would be hard pressed to find their own ass given a roadmap and a compass. I dress nicer than my boss daily. In fact, my "style" is closer to my boss' boss. Smart? Stupid? I don't really care. Wear your watch - who knows, you might inspire him but he probably won't even notice.

Oyster1982 · 8 July 2011, 08:50 PM

With all the issues that we deal with on a daily basis, I dont think my boss even notices that I am wearing pants.

rodrob59 · 8 July 2011, 08:55 PM

Mine is in my rotation with an Omega Seamaster, Speedmaster, a Doxa, and Vintage Accutron Astronaut. Only one person, an attorney I work with from time to time, has ever noticed any other than the orange face on the Doxa.

Zed82 · 8 July 2011, 09:12 PM

It´s easy to imagine that everybody is looking at your wrist and passing judgments shortly after buying your first expensive watch. People in general don´t care about watches and rarely look at other peoples wrists.

I wear my watches to work always (except for wearing my G-Shock on training days). Nobody has ever mentioned anything.

BH13GMT · 8 July 2011, 09:32 PM

wear mine every day, my boss has an IWC Pilot Chrono.

If you feel the watch hiarachy has to match your position at work, tell your Boss to buy a Patek. Is it the same with cars in the company car park?

Doctorsti · 8 July 2011, 09:37 PM

I have worn mine to work every day since getting it last month. I only get comments from my employees how it's crazy to spend that kind of money on a watch but they know it's something I care about so that's about as far as it goes. My "bosses" are not onsite so I rarely see them. In my company I believe the only other Rolex owner is the COO and considering I rarely see him or any other "boss" for that matter I'm not worried.
