When I first started working here 10 months ago, I was afraid that being the new guy with a Rolex would come off as a bit showoffy. Well, I worked hard for it and wore it proudly waiting for the inevitable “is that a Rolex??” but not 1 soul ever mentioned it here in an office with hundreds of people. Sure, I must’ve gotten some glances but never a comment until today. My boss says quite loudly “are you wearing a Rolex??” I laughed and gave him a closer look. Then another coworker says “ooh you have a Rolex?” UGH it’s a slow Friday and not many people are here to turn their heads but the secrets finally out. Surprised it too so long!

schoolboy · 29 June 2019, 06:50 AM

Monte Cristo · 29 June 2019, 06:55 AM

May want to hold off asking for a raise for a bit

HappyFish · 29 June 2019, 07:30 AM

Balsam for the poor ego!

SWISSAHOLICS · 29 June 2019, 07:46 AM

Now your boss thinks you don't need a raise or bonus

The Libertine · 29 June 2019, 07:49 AM

If that’s the worst thing that happens to you today, consider yourself lucky.

If I were a manager and noticed a subordinate wearing Rolex, I would assume that guy probably has his shit together.

Ehh everyone at my office knows I collect watches. It’s not really a big deal and I get enjoyment out of showing them my latest piece. Be proud and enjoy it :)

vicsdca · 29 June 2019, 09:34 AM

I'm surprised they did not question its authenticity.

woof · 29 June 2019, 09:40 AM

Good looking Sub..... I think everyone noticed it sooner. No one said anything.
Kudos to you!! for wearing it. Shows confidence. You do well in your career!!

THC · 29 June 2019, 09:44 AM

F Em if they cannot deal.... tell them your Uncle gave it to you

Flybak · 29 June 2019, 11:14 AM

It's a beautiful watch, keep wearing it with confidence!

MinMay · 29 June 2019, 11:21 AM

One of my peer noticed mine a month ago. I told him it’s fake. He asked me if I got it from the Hong Kong trip and I said yeah lol. People gossip too much at work.

Would you rather have them gossiping about you wearing a fake Rolex?

N5XTC · 29 June 2019, 11:31 AM

I used to worry about wearing my explorer 1 OR my seamaster at work, but soon realized the people can't recognize a rolex from a shitter watch. so, i wear whatever I want. no one notices.

I just bought a 2008 submariner and will wear it all the time.

If I see someone wearing a late model sub at work, I will get out my 10x loop and look for the crown above the 6. then i start examining the font, etc etc. Only after careful inspection will i say, "nice sub!"

Chaching · 29 June 2019, 11:48 AM

Your raise just lost 30% ....and bonus....if you get one now.... you can bet on it!

Geaux Tigers · 29 June 2019, 11:51 AM

10x loop...that’s funny!

What does your boss wear? And why would he notice this now? Has he been on dirty hyped up social media too?

Boss a bit slow in the attention to detail department .

Gerardus · 29 June 2019, 08:43 PM

My managing director likes my Airking the most. Regarding the Sub his opinion is that it is a very common Rolex which many people wear. The DD he does not like so much, too flashy and he has kindly asked me not to wear it to customers. Visiting suppliers and in our office no problem at all. BTW he wears Longines and Maurice Lacroix.

Brew · 29 June 2019, 08:45 PM

I haven't been in the same state as my boss in about 10 years. I have no idea what sort of watch she wears, she doesn't turn the camera on for our calls.
