Went to see my surgeon today, and he walked in wearing a Daytona - so I had a chance to real-time calibrate my response.
Bottom line is - he was so friendly, so attentive, kind, personable, and took all the time to answer all our questions, that the question of "Rolex or not" simply disappeared in the distance. Now... an arrogant asshole with a Rolex shall remain an arrogant asshole, regardless of his occupation. And wearing a Casio would not help the situation one bit. |

Mine wore a BALLON BLEU DE CARTIER WATCH
Sorry copy and pasted it form the site. It suited him well and looked professional. |

When I'm rounding on patients in my hospital, they could care less about my watch (usually a Submariner) but it's critically important that they know I care about them. I genuinely do and feel blessed to have the opportunity to help. Hospital gowns have a particular flair for mitigating all concerns about appearances.

Then pick a different profession and fill in the blanks. The implication in that drive-by poster's (post count of 1) comment was that everyone who isn't a doctor was either not smart enough, too lazy, or both. Oh, and every patient who encounters a rude doctor must have brought it on themselves.
It's just a rude outlook. Look how mad he got based on one stranger, on an online forum, not giving his profession the respect he thinks it deserves. Besides, there are plenty of good doctors who went into medicine to help people. It's the bad apples who did it for an upper middle class lifestyle and a sense of superiority |

It’s almost as bad as the guy who came into a thread just to post a disparaging remark. And his CV.

On business working with 6 ophthalmologists the last couple of days and not one Rolex was seen. I saw Apple watches and Timex.

People do use all sorts of cues to make quick decisions. When I was interning at a law firm, I was able to sit in on settlement negotiations from time to time. One case in particular was memorable for me because the defense lawyer commented that the plaintiff's lawyer was wearing bargain clothes and watch (after he left the room to talk to his client of course), suggesting that he was either too conservative to take his chances at trial or that he needed the fees. This may have been a bit of stagecraft for the client or me, but you never know.

I bought my wife a TT everrose gold Yacht-Master for graduating medical school. She is now a 3rd year resident and wears it pretty much everywhere except for work.

I won't even address your other points (I'm "amusing", financial services are "parasitic", classes at Wharton aren't rigorous, etc.) because it'd be a waste of my life to do so. As you've revived a months-dormant thread -- for purposes of attack rather than any kind of civil discussion -- I've reported your post and hope it results in a lock |
