I'm a TV News Photographer, and I have worn my LV everyday since I got it (2 weeks ago). I wear it everywhere from work to the gym, and love it more each time it goes on my wrist.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum...and i thought I'd say hi.

I'm 22 years old and I'm an air traffic controller. My SS Submariner was a bit of a present to myself a while back.

Best regards,

J.

I am in the field of Care of the Elderly - and most satisfying too! i have a couple of Omegas and other stuff, but since buying my Rolex I have worn nothing else!!

No one has noticed it at work and one person in the street did say that it was a nice replica and that's about it! I got a lot more comments on my new iPod touch screen gizmo!
I don't want people to notice my watch - the more understated the better - if they did a Rolex with out the name on the dial I'd be quite happy with that!
I couldn't buy anything sporty - believe me - I'm a terribly lazy person - amazing the autowind works I can be so sessile!

I run the service department of a Heating and Air Conditioning company. I wear my Sub everyday. That may change after seeing the new GMT IIc. Damn! That may be my Christmas present to myself.

I work for the largest global aircraft manufacturer in the world.
My co-workers wear fake Rolex watches while I wear my authentic Rolex Sea-Dweller everyday at work.


I am in the photo if you can find me.

Just turned 27 last week 27. I love my WG daytona and wear it everywhere. I love it because its not too flashy as it doesn't have any yellow gold.Ive run into a few people who did notice it was a rolex but most of them assume its SS until i let them hold the watch in their hand :)

Hey Busdriver,

I have an older GMT and it's on UTC as well! If the FAA would let me, i'd give you guys your time check off of the Rolex.

Best regards,

Joe

Funny. All of our senior guys research their investments and do a little trading during their down time at work. The junior guys play warcraft.

Full-time student, worked at some startup/pharma companies so far.

I am 'resting' as they say in acting circles. I have worn a Rolex for 15 years and I have had ONE person comment on it. (No, I don't live in a cupboard.)

Hi Guys.

I manage a Professional Services Organization - Government & Education for one the largest Telecommunications firms in the world. I bought an LV about 2 months ago during a trip to Boston, and I would say that people do notice at work. My wife wants me to stop wearing it to sleep though, not sure I will oblige.

Well, if the first photo wouldn't make a woman pass out the second and third certainly would!
