Do you guys wear Rolex to work?

I never wear my Sub to work. People say, never dress nicer than your boss. I believe this is true. since my boss wears a Tag Heuer. I work for a tech company.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

100%

No one at work, including the owner, wears a watch, much less a Rolex. I wear what I like, don’t flaunt it and couldn’t care less what others think.

Yup, same here! I've been wearing the RG Daytona for five years straight every day. No one has ever noticed it. I bought it about six months after it came out.

One exception: when I go on my almost yearly vacation to Europe, I take it off and slap on a Timex. I just don't want to risk being robbed. I know a couple people who were mugged while on vacation (but in one case, the cops found the perp and they got their watch/wallet/cash back; but they were lucky).

I only wear my DateJust occasionally. Special events likes weddings or very important business meetings. If I owned a Sub, I would wear it daily.

I don't understand the mentality of buying tough azz beautiful watches that people don't want to wear because they might get a scratch, offend someone, etc.

Jesus people, wear the frickin watch already!
