What do you do for a living?

[LouCan]

Just work on the power lines Guys. I do home Improvement on the side so i am always busy. I always wanted a brand new Rolex and now i got it. I live a good and happy life and own a 2006 f-250 Lariat and a 2004 Jaguar S-type . I dont wear mine to work because the nature of my job. metal and electric dont go good together. I dont care what anyone thinks i love my TT YM MOP and CIGARS Pictures were during hurricane wilma and thats me with the cigar

[leopardprey]

Loucan, BE CAREFUL!!!!! That is one serious job you have!!

[LouCan]

Yes it is. I promise to be carefull

[travellingbrit]

I travel through Europe and Asia Pacific on business and My Explorer 11 travels with me and doesn't leave my wrist ....just LOVE the 24hr hand. Most of my contacts wear Rolex (especially in Asia) so my baby sort of fits in well......

I've only had it for a couple of Months and I'm travelling into some of the murkier parts of eastern eurpe next Month - so debating whether to take my old Longines for 'street ware' - leave Rollie tucked up in the hotel safe.......

Trial Lawyer. My firm specializes in products liability, professional malpractice, engineering defects, catastrophic industrial injuries, sexual and clergy abuse, workers compensation, statutory and contractual disability among other areas. I started my career, like most astute trial lawyers, representing insurance companies. After some years of working for the dark force to the point that my conscience could take it no more, I took up the speer as opposed to the shield. Now I get to do social justice and be Robin Hood. I am involved with a huge fraud matter involving pension funds that are essentially stolen from hard working people after they have given their lives to a company. Boom, company gets bought, and so does obligation to pay for these funds leaving people broke. I have paralyzed clients, defaced clients, amputees, widows, widowers, parents whose kids have been killed, all kinds of people after 22 years of this.

I usually wear my GMT with black bezel. That is the watch of the day, every day. Then I will sport my LV on weekends or friday nights when I am feeling sporty.

I wear my Rolex SD everyday at work.

I design watches at Omega

j/k... or am I?!?

Either way I want your job just so I can drive that cool car!!

Corporate Lobbyist in the defense sector last three years. Before that US Marine for 26 years.

Never miss a day without a suit and tie. My only Rolex option is a GMT-IIC TT. I really like it and do wear it at times, but the Lange and the VC listed below actually fit better under most shirt cuffs and seem to make more sense to me than the GMT.

I get zero reactions from my watches unless I go to a watch store.

Oops, just notice this restarted from August

[arttay10]

A lot of respect to you Jon - Paramedic ?

[Hasse]

Hi ! I am an armyofficer and have hade my watches every day, for the past 30 years, therefore the have gained a "sort of patina" during the years.... Probably the watches will take more strain than "my humble body".... Or what would you think..???

I am a Distribution Center Manager for a large Electric utility. Since I bought my SD and Exp II a few weeks ago they have received the most wrist time

Before that I rotated to a different watch on an almost daily basis. I have a pretty diverse collection that includes:
Omega SMP
Omega Speedmaster
Limes Vintage Nightflight
JDR TV Screen
Glycine KMU 48
Mark II Quad 10
Zeno Magellano Day/Date
Seiko 007 (Yao modded)
Citizen SS Eco-Zilla

There are a few others, but these get the most wear. I make my choice on what to wear each morning based on my mood and planned activities.

[zak98]

A prosperity minister.

They seem to be getting a lot of press lately.

[jpourteau]

TRUE!!! I gaurantee to save your soul if you give me a new Daytona.

I have been a minster for 18 years and my family owns a construction company. I started collecting Rolexes when I was 18 years old. My first was a datejust stainless. Currently I am the proud owner of 2 and am looking for my fourth. Life is GREAT!

You're just around the corner. I haven't been to Rawlings in close to 15 years. Is it as dark and cold as I remember?

If you like diving quarry's you should try Fantasy Lake in N.C and Milbrook up in Nova if you haven't already. I assume you can still dive them. Millbrook is close to 90 feet deep from what I remember and very cold at depth.

I mostly wreck dive off Va beach and N.C. these days.

I envy your BVI trip. Nothing like the crystal clear warm waters in the Carrib.

Im a Real Estate agent and have been for three years...the market here in Ontario Canada is amazing and we arent being hit by any of the fallout in the USA. Strong growth and many sales got me my GMT IIc

I was wondering what you all do for a living and if you wear a Rolex, and if so, which one, in your job. I am in outside sales of industrial capital equipment and have been comtemplating the potential reaction, poistive or negative, from my clients to wearing a Rolex.

I'm curious about what your experiences and reactions have been from clients, co-workers, and bosses.

In many of the threads, I read that some of you don't wear your Rolex at work. Why?

Thanks.

I'm an project engineer for a rather large company, and I wear a Rolex as well. If you called on me, I'd compliment you on a mighty fine watch! I've done it for a bunch outside sales guys over the years. It helps to break the ice and establish some common ground.

Some of my co-workers think it's cool, others think it's a waste of money, and my boss likes it a lot to answer your other questions....

I always thought that engineers would really appreciate Rolexes and other fine watches, but in reality very few have any appreciation for them....most engineers seem to regard them with a degree of disdain. I became an engineer because I have always been fascinated with finely crafted mechanical devices (nice guns, fine watches, cool cars, etc), but most of my co-workers went into the profession for some other reason....
