Great watch but in some conservative business environments it may signal too much of a sporty Tom Selleck Magnum guy.

J_1964 · 9 May 2018, 07:52 AM

My TT Sub DID get noticed at work, but this 16710 on my wrist today does not. I also prefer an All Stainless watch for work anyway (from a durability standpoint), so that is what works for me.

mementomori1983 · 9 May 2018, 09:15 AM

I've been wearing my 16710 w/ a faded Pepsi insert to the office almost daily for a few months. Business casual attire. No one notices it, honestly.

I think folks in my office see the faded bezel and think "What a crummy old thing... He should upgrade to an Apple Watch!"

173rdabn · 9 May 2018, 11:21 AM

Misplaced worry, the vast majority of folks won't notice or care. Just wear the damn thing, way too many other really important things to worry over.

Dompropat · 9 May 2018, 11:31 AM

No question. Wear it.

Spoonage · 9 May 2018, 11:34 AM

I rotate between a BLNR, and several other watches (but mostly the BLNR as I am on international project teams and have meetings all the time with multiple time zones). NO issues and no one notices... Not even those that have a Rolex on.

dollar919 · 9 May 2018, 11:40 AM

I’ve been wearing Rolex watches for 8 years now...may have had 5 people ever notice it’s a Rolex

watchmework · 9 May 2018, 12:30 PM

I don’t have a GMT but if I did I’d wear it to the office without any reservation what so ever.

SeaAndSky · 9 May 2018, 12:33 PM

I wear a suit to my office which is usually moving along at .78 Mach. I don’t think there’s any better place to wear it than in the office.

Only if the wearer grows a bushy moustache and wears really tight shorts.

RolexNorth · 9 May 2018, 02:26 PM

I work in finance. Been in the industry for 19 years now. Typical clothing is black khaki's, Polo-Golf T-shirt, and black Doc Martin shoes.

I've worn a BLNR, a DSSD, 2 SD's, and a YM2 SS in this environment on a daily basis.

Not sure I see the purpose of this thread.

D O C · 9 May 2018, 02:57 PM

Wore mine through years of residency and 14 years of practice. Perfect for work and everywhere else.

If there's consequences for wearing a certain brand of watch then you work for the wrong people.

vipereaper30 · 9 May 2018, 03:09 PM

I say no better watch for the office. But then again I'm a pilot!

Andad · 9 May 2018, 07:12 PM

I remember you in that James Bond movie Goldfinger?

Cool movie.

But I think an Apple Watch is the very best choice for work?

jezza17 · 12 May 2018, 08:56 PM

Yes. Of course wear it to work. You’re in an office not an oil rig. I agree with many others - most others won’t even notice or care.

WatchinMD · 12 May 2018, 09:00 PM

If someone notices they might ask "Yeh, is that an Invicta?"

Mattewlaird · 12 May 2018, 09:34 PM

IMO I don't think its an issue, rock your Rolex!

challer · 12 May 2018, 10:16 PM

I'm not sure why you wouldn't

Jmbarrack · 12 May 2018, 10:19 PM

I wear a BLNR as my daily to work. I work in a very causal tech environment. The nice thing about the GMTs is that they play nicely dressed up or dressed down.

Btw my work is in an office environment but does not require me to wear a suit.

Sure, why not? You can’t admire and enjoy it if you don’t wear it.

Well said.

ra77man · 13 May 2018, 12:30 AM

My job is general management which usually entails business casual and sometimes a suit. I would wear it.

“Upgrade”

GMTmatt · 13 May 2018, 12:56 AM

Wear it, the only person who noticed mine and knew what it was my CFO. Have gotten many compliments over the years but they had no idea it was a Rolex.

Recaro18 · 13 May 2018, 02:15 AM

Daily wear! YES! That’s what they’re made for..

I daily my 16710... always get compliments..

NLYogi · 13 May 2018, 02:31 AM

I would, nobody cares

MinMay · 13 May 2018, 02:34 AM

Why buy this watch and be concern if it's acceptable to wear it at certain environment? really? lol

This.

I’ve worn my BLNR around my employees before and they either don’t notice or don’t care. Which is perfect for me.

Do what you enjoy and don't worry what other people think

HL65 · 13 May 2018, 02:43 AM

Sure why not.
