I work from home but my regional manager has a TT Sub with a Serti dial. It is the only high end watch I have ever noticed besides a few Tags. Although, I don't get out much, with co-workers that is.

4 ppl here: 1 Cartier Pasha 2.Me Day Date 3. Kenneth Cole 4.fake Omega Seamaster. My old firm-2 ss Yachts, 1 tt black Sub, 1 diamond and ruby DJ, 1 regular tt jubilee DJ, 1Cartier Tank and 1 Pasha Chronograph, and the bosses President, which drove me to get one.

Great thread...I work with 120 people in an industrial plant - I'm relatively new and haven't met everyone yet, but not a Rolex in sight, not even an Omega. The maintenance manager has and old well worn mechanical watch, it's a Rotary.

I was out for dinner one night with the manager of another division and he was wearing a TT sub, but we didn't talk watches at all.

Back in the old plant, I had another 120 coworkers.....no Rolex.

Two out of six at our place with Rolex watches.

My workplace has some fine females. No Rollies, but some amazing cleavages......so who gives a toss about any Rollies?

wantonebad · 7 June 2008, 05:05 AM

I've seen 4 so far but we have a large national sales force, so thee are much more then just 4. I've seen three SS subs and one TT Blue like mine

Um I hope your kidding, Maine has one of the highest concentrations of millionaires per-capita. Maine has really low income per-capita but the duality is there are a lot of rich people who've already made their money. Heck there are probably 4 Rolex' in Bush's kennebunkport compound alone

You dirty ol' Tosser!

There are about 450 folks here..1 other person sports a Rolex...a SS DJ with silver stick dial on a jubilee band....and me with my LV. Funny timing for this question as I just came out of a meeting. The sales guy was sporting a TAG and he just keep staring at my LV. Finally I just put my hand under the table

I've only seen two Rolexes owned by folks where I work, and a third worn by a visiting instructor.

shoppy · 7 June 2008, 05:15 AM

I am in the army, I have a SS YM, Sub non date, sub date, a few omega planet oceans, omega bond limited edition, omega SF edition and a DJ.

East Bay Rider · 7 June 2008, 10:22 AM

Only one other, a TT GMT-II, by the VP of sales. It was given to him by the company he worked for previously. He has no appreciation for it. He complains that it isn't accurate. I'm positive he never cared enough about it to learn about it. I hate that he's so vocal about his displeasure.

KLM · 7 June 2008, 10:27 AM

I am the only one where I work, company of about 40 people. Although I did go to lunch with a sales rep last week who was wearing a Sub Date. Was beat to Hell, so I asked him about it. He said he has had it for over 20 years, never takes it off, races motorcycles with it, and IT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED!

Man I felt proud to be having lunch with him, he was my Hero for the day!

HYDROMAROC · 7 June 2008, 10:38 AM

Working in a medical group / clinic with 25+ doctors, I have only found 1 other person wearing one, and it was the nurse working in the CT/MRI ... ???? But he has good taste, a Pepsi, rotating occasionally with a Breitling

vh_bu98 · 7 June 2008, 11:00 AM

There are 18 people in the company that I work for and I'm the only one who wears a Rolex.

Jazz · 7 June 2008, 06:54 PM

[quote=Portzed;618025]I couldn't believe the statistics

When I checked, I found that 50% of our staff wear them

.....

..............

I work for myself, my wife works part time for me and she doesn't wear a watch (It's an excuse to be late for work!

)

If you're saying that you own the company, Jonesy, then you pay them way too much money!!
