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?

mtgjr · 16 August 2016, 09:48 AM

Good

douglasf13 · 16 August 2016, 09:49 AM

On time.

Masteryacht · 16 August 2016, 09:57 AM

Like a horologist.

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.

Zilla99 · 16 August 2016, 10:19 AM

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

Ticknaway · 16 August 2016, 10:22 AM

I'm gonna say good, I am however conscious of my surroundings and a little low key.

subtona · 16 August 2016, 10:25 AM

Like a York peppermint patty.

30% proud to have gotten my grail from hard work
10% its a cool status symbol
60% I love staring at the way YG shimmers in the light...

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

It's ok to be hip. But God please, not ok being a hipster.

Ha! I don't what hipster means to you, but I wear skinny jeans, have a beard, have tattoos, have long hair, play in bands, etc., and I've owned multiple Rolex watches.

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.

JohnLT · 16 August 2016, 10:53 AM

satisfied.

Rags · 16 August 2016, 10:58 AM

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

Steel28 · 16 August 2016, 11:03 AM

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.

ajas · 16 August 2016, 11:04 AM

That I can check the what time is it now any time I want

HorologyK · 16 August 2016, 11:05 AM

Patek for me

dominic.warren · 16 August 2016, 11:06 AM

Good!

cop414 · 16 August 2016, 11:13 AM

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.

Slippy Chips · 16 August 2016, 11:14 AM

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.

BigAl72 · 16 August 2016, 11:14 AM

Grateful.
