I wear it every day. No complaints but quite a few compliments.

I earned and saved for my watches. They were not paid for with a Credit Card or Financing. I wear them wherever I want.

Most people don't care anyway...

(FWIW my Speedmaster was an Anniversary gift from my wife)

Yes, wear one of my Rolex or other Swiss watches nearly everyday. Most others don't care and I don't care about proving myself or laying low so as not to offend the non enthusiast.

I wear my Explorer II at work everyday... only one WUS co-worker knows and we talk about watches at times. He wears his Omega FOIS everyday too. Other people dont know or care... they just compliment my clothes, bags or electronics... casual wear of course as I’m in high-tech company.

Never. I do a lot of fundraising; work in which too expense of a watch, car or clothes can get in the way of asking for money. It’s just a dynamic in working with donors.

Sure do. I have a 4 day 10 hour per day schedule. I’ll wear my sub for 2 days and my DJ41 for the other 2. How I spend my hard earned money is not my boss’s problem.

It is not. I read the context incorrectly. I am in the construction/development industry as well. Wear mine every day but I’m also not doing any manual labor.

I’m a streetcar operator (TTC) and wear my Rolex, Tudor and Omega on rotation daily. They are made to be worn and loved!

I guess that old adage works if your goal is to always work for that same boss...

Depends on the cases/ caseload. Not so busy days- definitely. Busy days- Panerai‘s, IWC’s or Omega’s. I cherish my Rolex’s more.

I wear my sub everyday since I'm the boss. I do enjoy seeing my employee's wear their rollies to work.
