I don't hide my Patek Philippe from my boss and I certainly didn't hide my Rolex when I had one.
Though saying that, I don't believe that too many people would recognise a PP anyway!!

It's unfortunate that I feel compelled to act this way, and suppress my watch hobby, but I just came from a snake pit where everything one did or said would somehow turn into a subject of gossip, so I now feel as though the less my coworkers know about me, my hobbies, my personal life etc. the better.

Yes, I understand completely.

No, I don't hide my watches from the Boss - she lets me buy as many as I want.

A while back when I was in the Navy.
My vintage GMT got me under the good graces of all my senior officers who all had GMT's and Sub's (I was just an E4)
I guess your boss will either love you or hate you for wearing a Rollie.

My boss wears a Pulsar and I cut out Rolex magazine ads for him, encouraging him to upgrade.

Lots of Rolex where I work. Plenty of Tag and Breitling as well.

I'm the only one at my company that has a Rolex and everyone knows since there's less than 20 people. They tease me about it, but it's not really an issue. My boss doesn't care what kind of watch I have.
