Yes, I wear mine every day. I have a "white collar" job, though.

My husband, however, does not, as his job involves doing things that could seriously damage his Sub. He also received the Sub as a birthday gift from his father, so it has strong sentimental value, too.

My Wife and I bought her Father a Sub No-Date for his birthday. I wanted it so bad but thought it would be a great gift for the man. I have not seen it on his wrist since we purchased it. Keeps it in the safe and wears his non-rolex watches. Drives me crazy. We bought that for him so he can keep his Sub Date in the safe and wear the no date.

I may wear my BLNR to work once a week or so; only because my two JLCs are more apropriately suited to my business casual attire IMO.

I didn't buy it. I won it. For being the best damn ketchup salesman in America...

Seriously. It was a gift from my company. I've kept if for the sentimental value but I don't really like the DateJust. Or gold. Or diamonds. So I never wear it.

This afternoon I went to my AD to try on other models. I'm looking at a sub w/o date because I'm not a fan of cyclops.

I want to own a Rolex I would wear more often.

Even more reason to wear it with pride, you actually were 'awarded' this status symbol because of your job performance. Great story, I would wear it as a badge of honour.

Not wearing your watch is like not kissing your GF so that she remain more desirable for her next BF.

I agree, I wear mine every day(DJ). If my boss is hurt because I’m wearing a better watch, that’s his problem. I’ve had mine for only 9 months. No one has even noticed it yet.

Wear your watch, you know you want to.

Yes! My boss definitely can't care less for jewelry/accessory (let's be honest, rolex is a fancy accessory no matter how much we'd like to think it's a "tool") and he doesn't seem to notice or care what's on my wrist.

And even if he recognizes jt, why would he care. He's got a waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger bank acct than I do

Disagree about the comment that you should not outdress your boss. You should dress as well as your boss. You should dress for your next position/promotion. I also agree that most people don't know a Rolex from a Timex. Wear your watch in good health.
