Do you guys wear Rolex to work?

[Oyster_Jubilee]

I wear a 14060 Submariner into the office almost every day. Been doing it for over 20 years.

[Stan Cooper]

I retired in 2003, but I wore my 1675 GMT-Master to work every day before retirement.

[Sthe]

I wear my Explorer to work every day and on trips.

[B2 Stealth]

My office being a cockpit the BLRO or BLNR is worn!

[NickD1975]

I work from home almost entirely now, so yes, but I wore whatever watch I wanted when I was in the office. So what if it's better than my boss's watch? He isn't going to care.

[OneMoreSi]

Explorer for work, keeping it low key IMO but it still attracts the odd comment, maybe partly because of the finishing on it. The bracelets have a certain quality shine to them.

[One_Ping_Only]

Yes however no one actually notices my watch and then again I " work " from home

Wear your Rolex for YOU!!!!....You shouldn't have to worry about what others think, be proud....it's those other peoples problem if they react in any negative manner, who the person are with, family, friends and co-workers are suppose to encourage you, help you to be successful and to be a better human being!

Current CEO wears a nice all metal G-Shock.

Former CEO wore Patek.

"No, this isn't Jimmy. He's out sick. I'm Lloyd. I'm looking to move two hundred thousand O&Y May '25s. You interested?"

Wow, that must have been sick! Did Jimmy show up next day? Was his book in the green? I guess Lloyd was happy to be back trading, like a flashback from the time he was young! Would have been really sick if 15 min into trading he took off the swatch and put on a heavy oldschool gold Rolex from his trading days, started pranking people on the desk and harrasing junior traders! Swatch is for CEO-Floyd, trader Lloyd wears a gold Rolex! Trader Lloyd is baaaaaaack!:))

P.S. Everyone on my desk wore Panerai. PAM was like a part of the uniform, but everyone had a different ref.

I’m a A&P helicopter mechanic, I wear my Pepsi 16710 everyday for years. Most people don’t even notice it’s a Rolex, as smart watches are the most common thing. I do remove it when I have to reach in tight areas and when working on live electrical circuits.
It’s been drowned in jet fuel, covered in both turbine oil and hydraulic fluid. Dish soap, warm water and an old toothbrush brings back the luster.
Yes, it has a few dings but those dings are mine. It’s a watch, don’t pamper it…Wear it

[tenementhall]

Was in investment banking at GS for a bit out of college (2017+) and saw many wearing PAMs (even the women! Great look btw)… not one that I expected going in

^but point is no one cares unless they have a chip on their shoulder / a client does

It really depends where you work. If you work in a place with lots of very low paid workers (for example on on minimum wage salaries) then it can be very crass to rub your wealth in their face. However, it's of course a personal thing and down to the individual wearer and their level of empathy.

[lordliam8]

I only wear it when im on vacation

[Majin Buu]

The way I see it, its just a watch, meant to be worn !

J.

[SA1]

Sub every day, suit or play….

[Carroll]

Yes I do actually.

[173rdabn]

Always wore my Rolex to work before I retired. Never gave it a second thought as I really didn't give a damn.

[S’portEye]

Either a 124060 or a 228238 every day. Occasionally, someone will make a comment on the YG DD, but almost never on the Sub.

[RDT-G23]

Every day. I've been in corporate america for ~32 years. I couldn't give a sh*t what folks think, but then that is among the primary reasons my career stopped just before COO-not abiding by corporate culture...

[Drpepper]

Yup everyday. Life is short. It’s just a watch really in the scheme of things and cars houses etc are way more money. I think a Rolex can augment a man of class and if you are a douche wearing a Rolex it will augment that. So I see it as a personality magnifier

[ELLimon]

Yes! I work from home (stupid covid )

So true! Wear it!

Where I work I’m afraid I’d get mugged in the break room

[Ny325]

Yes.

[nm4710]

Wish I could. Unfortunately I’m not in a corporate environment and a modern Rolex would be considered ostentatious (though a lot of guys walk around with older datejusts). Plus I take my watch in and off 4-5 times per day so the chance of loss/theft/damage would be somewhat high.

[berchris]

No one cares if I wear a GMT nor will they look at my wrist. They all wear Apple Watches.

Says who?

Where do you people come up with this stuff? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? You're not in a corporate environment, so how would you know???

I actually work in a corporate environment. I wear a Rolex to work all the time. I feel very comfortable, and have positive, rewarding relationships with the people I work with.

If you're popular and well liked, it doesn't matter what watch you wear. If you're a db, then you're still a db no matter what watch your wear (Rolex or an Apple Watch).
