I work in a Cardiac Cath Lab and was just thinking of the number of Rolex's at work.
Here is a list:

Dr Q precision name in dial, name?
Dr. N ss DJ
Dr. M Exp II
Dr. Q ss DJ
Dr. L ss Daytona (zenith movement)
Dr. R ss DJ
Dr. A yg DJ with mod dial diamond's
Dr. S ss Sub, Mil LV
Dr. F yg Pres (day/date)
Rep AL ss Sub
Rep. H DJ
Rep DJ ss Sub
Rep C platy
Rep M ss GMT, platy
Rep D tt DJ
Rn A GMT II-c
Rn M tt DJ
Rn TP DJ
Rt j tt Sub
MD Relations KH tt DJ
and myself GMT II-c

23

not to mention the Ball, Breitling, Cartier, IWC, and Panerai. One MD has a folex (fake Rolex). He has had for 9 yrs. It still keep great time.

The most popular brand at work Seiko!

I started this thread becuse of the MD stealing the watch from a patient. In a code situation, it is pure adreneline. You respond first and remember later, you try to stay as calm as you can. You do what you have to with what you have to save a life. It's called the heat of the battle. I know, I've been there many times! It's what I do for a living. I do it cause I'm a adreneline junkie!
Say this doc (stated by another member) went start an Arterial line in his radial to draw a blood gas, or an ordinary IV in his wrist, took the watch off and stuck it in his pocket in stead of dropping it on the floor(like everything else on a code). Let's say after you did all that you know to do and the patient still passes on. You lost the battle. You chart, dictate your report, drink some water, prepair yourself to speak to the family, get up out of your chair, put your hand in your pocket, you feel a watch, the officer on duty, comes to you and asks to search you. Remember these guy's and gals don't work a nice little 8 hr day like most! The go from the time they get there till the time they leave! 12 hrs at a time, sometimes more. You refuse to be searched cause you know you have a nice watch in your pocket, you don't want your reputation spotted, so you walk out and throw the watch out cause you know it's nice looking. In a code you don't have time to look at a watch and say, oh what a nice yellow gold Rolex day/date with diamonds you have there! We should give this MD the benefit of wrongful reacting to search, killing a patient to steal his watch? This is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I guess in the medical world, Rolex is common.

sakuraba · 3 October 2009, 12:31 AM

Wow! How do you even focus on work?!

I would have concentration/ attention issues if I worked at your place.

sexner · 3 October 2009, 12:41 AM

Well, Rob, I work as an on-site supervisor for a vehicle maintenance contract for the Department of National Defence.

There is exactly one Rolex at my workplace - mine. (out of 35 people)

No other WIS's either.

2. EXP II Noir-mine
3. 1500 date-mine

Ste27 · 3 October 2009, 01:13 AM

Stolen from another thread but:

In my office of 30-35 there are at least (as daily wear):

3 Lady DJs, 4 DJs of various metals/bands, 2 SS Daytonas, my Milgauss GV

There are also a couple IWC Aquatimers, 2 Hublot chronos, and a Breitling. Plus a few Tags and Movados here and there

edit: oh, and a platinum day date, but it doesn't come out to play all that often

Since then I realized I forgot one lady DJ, and we hired 2 guys that are so far showing up with Omegas

No thanks I'm good. Do you guys do many femoral closures? Angioseal? Starclose?

Out of 8 people at my office 2 have Rolex's.

ijen0311 · 3 October 2009, 02:47 AM

Mine is the only one... I work for the state. I have a coworker who wears a TT black sub but I'm not sure if it's real or not. It may be. Although I do know a fellow who has a nice collection of fakes.

vitix · 3 October 2009, 02:50 AM

only mine, there is a gilr that has a green daytona but is a fake one and another guy who has a fake sub date

johnliley · 3 October 2009, 02:58 AM

Mine. currently a SSGMTII on brown lizard strap with Rootbeer Butterscotch bezel

1 SS Sub

1 YG DD

1 SS/18kt Ladies DJ

That's all.

Rob_b · 3 October 2009, 07:42 AM

Out of 250+ employees, only 2. The Boss and me

My Boss is 6' 6" and wears a Rolex Date with tapestry dial that he got in the 60's when he graduated as a Mech Eng.

I don't mean to be off topic, but it looks totally normal on his big wrist and long arms. No he's not an ape

I think a 42mm watch would look out of place on him

Maybe it's his age

Rob

The GMT Master · 3 October 2009, 07:49 AM

Oo, lots at any given time, plus any that come through the door on the wrist of a customer. Then again, I do work at an AD

TheVTCGuy · 3 October 2009, 08:33 AM

1 ... I work out of my house.

tifosi · 3 October 2009, 10:34 AM

Wales · 3 October 2009, 11:00 AM

I work at a large energy company (Fortune 500) and Ive seen 2 (both DJs) out of the hundreds of people Ive known while working here over the years. Being too flashy with wealth is looked down upon around here, so I guess that may explain part of it.

JediRolex · 3 October 2009, 01:39 PM

I have counted four including mine.

GMTII (mine)
Sub Date
DJ
Vintage 1960s DJ

entropydave · 3 October 2009, 05:57 PM

I work in a Youth Offenders Service - believe me... there is only on Rolex and it's mine. In my job wearing a Rolex is a touch dangerous due to the nature and inclinations of our client group.
So far no one's spotted it. Which is why I have both arms.
