How does wearing a Rolex make you feel?
I love wearing a Rolex for many reasons, however, name recognition is not one of them.
I've read many comments from TRF members and some Rolex owners are proud, self conscious, overprotective, confident, nervous, etc. How do you feel when wearing a Rolex? |

Like a Million bucks =) ... but seriously proud to have it on the wrist.
Just makes me appreciate all the hard work I had to go through to purchase it. Can't wait to get #2, 3 and 4. |

Always proud, but for me it has always been for personal accomplishment and my hard work.

Lucky. Grateful. Special. Accomplished. ...and old. Let's face it, there's nothing hipster about Rolex. Not even vintage.

I know this forum is full of a lot of guys who wear golf shirts and khakis, but no need to disparage others. If anything, hipsters are who will keep Rolex around later on down the road, once everyone is wearing wrist computers. |

I don't feel any different but it shows me that with hard work you can acquire some of the finer things in life.

On top of the world. One of the best accessory a man can have. Of course together with some good shoes preferably from Edward Green and Gaziano & Girling ;).
You definitely stand out with a timepiece like Rolex. Boom.

Makes me feel like I'm wearing something well deserved. There are still days
that I can't believe I'm strapping on a Rolex.

I don't think a lot about it really. When I do notice it I often admire it for a mement and then go back to what I was doing.
