I wore an Omega SMP to work for 10 years & now my Rolex SD for about 6 years.

Agree with other posters about why buy the watch if not to wear it !!

You earn the cash & have the right to buy\ wear what you want

I have a Tridor with a diamond dial and bezel .. I have no problem wearing it to work even though I weat a GMT or my AirKing most of the time .. I never take time to wonder if people think I am a show off .. It's not my problem if people dont like my taste in timepieces

I wear a fine timepiece daily. I wear mostly Rolex but every now and then an Audemars or Patek. Everytime I look down at my wrist I am reminded of my goals and the rewards of success.

Everyday. If I go home for lunch, I may change to a different one if I feel like it!

My boss wears an Omege Constellation.

Dress for the job you want. If you aspire to be a manager, dress like managers in your company, or better.

Dress for success! Wear that thing with pride!

I wear my Sea-Dweller every day. I wouldn't wear a Gold Day-Date to the hospital though. I think that sends the wrong message to my patients. Maybe Platinum though! ;)

I wear my Sea Dweller every other day or so, in rotation with an IWC Pilot Chronograph. When I need to go somewhere a bit dubious through work, I wear a £20 Casio.

If you are afraid of what your boss may think about what you wear on your wrist, there are larger unresolved issues involved.

I wear mine when I swim, at work, grocery shopping, watching the game, range shooting, working on the sprinklers, etc. But, I never wear it to weddings--somethings are just too taboo.

Agreed, they notice. I was worried a bit about this before I bought mine, but I dress better than most daily so I stopped worrying about it too much. I do tend to pull my cuffs over it in meetings though, but I'm sure that will wear off too.

Yes you must be joking. If your boss is that thin skinned you need to start looking for another job.

I am also in the tech industry and work for a very well know computer company, and although I am the only one wearing a Rolex at work, there is a brad new Breitling Super Avenger that I just saw hit the wrist of a coworker.

Plus, my boss makes more then me. I know that. He knows that. Everybody knows that. Doubt he cares whatsoever I have a Rolex on my wrist. I think everyone assumes I came from inheritance or I'm a drug dealer, irregardless i don't care what people think about me wearing it. I worked hard for it.

WEAR YOUR WATCH! Stop worrying about what others think.

Work and play. That's why I bought them. But I guess it can depend on where you work as far as how comfortable one feels. But I could not justify spending thousands on something and not enjoying it how it was meant to be enjoyed!

Never dress nicer than your boss? My boss wears horrible, mis-fitted suits and scuffed up shoes. His dress shirts are three sizes too big and his ties are nylon, not silk. Although he wears a TT YM (practically swinging around his wrist because its too big), he chooses to dress like that. I will never, ever dress down just because he's my boss. That said, I wear all my watches and as always, my Panerai always draws attention.

In the corporate world, you dress for the job you want, not the job you have

Of course I wear it to work. My Rolex is part of me, on my wrist everyday. It's nothing to be ashamed of. If it were, I wouldn't be ready for a Rolex.

I wear the 1981 GMT daily. Several guys in the office wear Rolex. The last boss had a two-tone Submariner.

I always forget that I have my airking on, when I'm at work. Police, sometimes I take it off and put on gshock. But lots of times I just roll with it in uniform, looks a bit outta place. Lol

I do and my boss won't care because he's a gazillionaire! He probably thinks of Rolex as just another dust in the wind!

I wear my Rolex whenever I can. On gym days I tend to wear my Tag. On fridays I usually wear my PAM 111 since it is casual and Polo shirts can be worn. I have had co-workers ask me if my Tag was real. I doubt very much that they would think my Rolexes were real. They probabbly see the green bezel and think that there is no way Rolex would make a green watch. I do not even think anyone in my office knows what a Panerai is. I wear the Panerai, because I can enjoy it without being judged.
