Yes.

rockmastermike · 5 February 2012, 08:16 AM

Yes, but my boss has no interest whatsoever in watches. My boss's boss wears his TT DJ daily. very nice.

Yes, mine wears a quartz TAG. The battery was dead for a year and he still wore it. Drove me crazy.

clarencek · 5 February 2012, 08:25 AM

I have a nicer watch than my boss but I don't wear it.

betrezra · 5 February 2012, 08:43 AM

Yup. Above me I see g-shocks and free-bie watches. I wear my little collection with no cover-up of any sort...... each one is related to a project or major deal.... it keeps me motivated.

I do have a gentleman working for me with an 18K daytona...... had lunch the other day and found out he's got property in eaglefordshale play with oil wells... so he get's regular mail box money of $500K / quarter.... LOL.... I feel honored he works on my team :) he sure doesn't need the money :) It must be the JOY of working with me everyday.

I have two bosses, one female and one male.

My female boss wears a watch from some jewellery brand (Bulgari or similar), no tradition, no horological interest but just a piece of fashion jewellery to carry a brand name. She does, however, wear a rock the size of a small town, so she beats my white gold wedding band hands down.

My male boss, whom I respect more than almost anyone on earth, wears an Oris. I guess my SD and IWC 371701 trump that.

GradyPhilpott · 5 February 2012, 10:29 AM

Boss?

cecilia · 5 February 2012, 11:10 AM

eric23 · 5 February 2012, 11:25 AM

Yes

Onikage · 5 February 2012, 01:28 PM

Yes. My boss wears a G Shock with a suit.

rodrob59 · 5 February 2012, 01:29 PM

I also have a better car, but I'm not sending any kids to college.

Power Play · 5 February 2012, 03:18 PM

Kind of weird but I got lots of watches that are "better" than my boss's Seiko.

Cool thing is that he has no idea and that seems to be OK with both of us. I'm sure he has some other vice(es) on which he's blowing his disposable income.

Yes but I don`t wear it at work and he`ll never know.

F&Iguy · 6 February 2012, 11:45 AM

yes I do but I'm trying to talk my boss into buying a rolex as a gift to himself

toph · 6 February 2012, 11:49 AM

yes, but it is irrelevant because my boss is not into watches

drockadam · 6 February 2012, 11:53 AM

At this age, my boss is my Dad. His TT GMT and TAG S/EL top anything of mine! So nope!

masterserg · 6 February 2012, 11:55 AM

Yes. He makes considerably more money than me as well. It only means that I like watches and he could not care less.

dojpros · 6 February 2012, 12:01 PM

Yes. He is still driving the 85 corolla he bought new. Of course he put two kids thru Princeton and one thru Washington Univ.

FeelingTheBlues · 6 February 2012, 12:01 PM

My boss doesn't have a watch but she's interested in getting a SMP since she saw mine. I think I'll convincer her to avoid it for the sake of this thread!

Rsvrider · 6 February 2012, 12:10 PM

Four of us got cussed out once by a Col. wearing his West Point ring at a bar outside base. Funny thing was that "eventually" he learned that those were Rolex watches given to us by the Navy ( he been Army is understandable

).

Hehehe, that is where I am at. One of partners has 5 kids with 3 in college and 2 in private school. The other partner has 6 girls all in private school. The other doctor I work with who isn't a partner has 2 kids in private school.

I could buy a few Rolex per year and a new car every year with what they are spending combined with all those kids.

Rescuing dogs is much cheaper than having kids!

monte · 10 February 2012, 01:42 PM

all of my watches are better than my boss' but he makes alot more than me...he gets the last laugh

Dan Pierce · 10 February 2012, 01:49 PM

Yes and I even purchased a watch for my boss. He owns a few nice Swiss pieces and as a world traveler could really use a GMT to add to his collection. But then he has 3 kids in college.

david_ord · 10 February 2012, 02:23 PM

I am unemployable. Therefore, I don't have a boss. With the purchase of my first rolex recently, a DSSD, I've noticed that I am on par with some of my business associates. Of course there are those who wear Seiko's and Casio's simply because they are not into watches.

I didn't get that.

greenfan · 12 February 2012, 01:21 AM

He usually doesn't wear a watch, but some time ago I've seen him with a ROLEX Explorer II and before that with an Ulysse Nardin Blue Seal
