I am serious

CKay · 27 September 2008, 02:52 AM

Yes, I will. It is embarrassing not to wear a Rolex at his/her level. I won't want to embarrass him/her.

moldowan · 27 September 2008, 02:52 AM

no

Chozn1 · 27 September 2008, 02:57 AM

Probably would depend on what business I was in. If I was a salesperson, I'd wear it in a heartbeat as a reminder to him that if I'm pulling in that much coin for myself, imagine what I'm doing for the company. In most instances I would.

seantk · 27 September 2008, 02:59 AM

No.... Although he then may think that he is paying me too much.

Sean

Bisquitlips · 27 September 2008, 03:02 AM

No, absolutely not!

Before I went to work for him / them I was successful. If he can't deal with it that is his own smallness coming to light!

kcmo · 27 September 2008, 03:03 AM

Nope. My boss wears a Fossil and I doubt he's ever even realized what kind of watch I wear.

Spark · 27 September 2008, 03:06 AM

No I wouldn't hide my watch from my Boss, because if he were my Boss he would be more than capable of buying one, so I would guess he didn't wear one out of choice.
Then again he may be wearing a complicated Patek and then I would feel inadequate

padi56 · 27 September 2008, 03:07 AM

Definately not its only a watch,and today a Rolex could be bought by most folks if they wanted too.

BigHat · 27 September 2008, 03:08 AM

Moan.

James T · 27 September 2008, 03:19 AM

Nope!

Tools · 27 September 2008, 03:19 AM

What...............

Absolutely not.... I can't think of any reason on earth why somebody would do this...

Besides, chances are that if he doesn't wear a Rolex or other top-of-the-line watch, he probably doesn't know a Rolex from a Timex...

DSJ · 27 September 2008, 03:19 AM

No

Nigel Tufnel · 27 September 2008, 03:25 AM

come on....... we aren't talking about a Breguet, a Patek, or Blanc Pain. Rolexes are a dime a dozen, so wear it!

Ivy League · 27 September 2008, 03:26 AM

I wouldn't necessarily "hide" it, but I don't flaunt my GMT IIc either.
I normally wear long sleeve oxfords, and try to be discreet with all individuals.
No one at the office has even noticed my watch, nor would they care.

I am not the type who would wear an 18K President's DD either.
Those kind of guys are always IN YOUR FACE. LOOK AT MY WATCH everybody !!!!!
Not for me.........

C. Davidson · 27 September 2008, 03:28 AM

No. My boss wears a Rolex so it doesn't really matter. Why hide anyway? Its your money, spend it as you will.

Greenring · 27 September 2008, 03:28 AM

My boss has 6 kids. (

ya think he figured out what causes that?) He certainly has not noticed my Rolex. This crowd would rather have fishing gear, fishing boats, 4 wheelers, Harleys, etc.
I wouldn't sweat wearing your Rolex around the office. If things get too uncomfortable, tellem ya got it from a guy selling'em outa his trunk in an alley.

karmatp · 27 September 2008, 03:42 AM

No need to hide it, people spend their money on different things, you like watches, simple as that. I'm sure he spends money on things that you wouldn't, he probably is just not passionate about watches like we all are.

Numismatist · 27 September 2008, 03:44 AM

I have no boss - except the wife - I may have to hide the next purchase from her!!!

Rolex997 · 27 September 2008, 04:04 AM

It's funny, I asked myself the same thing when I bought my car. I bought a Porsche C2S and was a little concerned but more so from the people that work for me. It makes the "times are tough" speech a little hard to sell...lol.
My boss is just happy that I am enjoying myself...his opinion is that if I'm happy away from work, I'm likely to be happier at work. He has looked at my Rolex too and just doesn't personally see the value in wearing one himself...In his mind, a watch is just to tell time...he's the last one to care about personal material possesions...although he lives in a very nice house.

sea-dweller · 27 September 2008, 04:15 AM

No.

erwin · 27 September 2008, 04:29 AM

I don't because he's wearing an audemars piguet solid gold watch!

BigHat · 27 September 2008, 04:43 AM

Gee, how did I ever manage to get through life with asking for you guys to tell me what to do regarding every facet of existence?

Going to look at watches tomorrow. Should I wear pants?

TheVTCGuy · 27 September 2008, 04:44 AM

Get this, when I upgraded from a GMT II to my Daytona.... I sold my boss my GMT II. (good price for it too!).

B Square · 27 September 2008, 04:54 AM

If I hid it from the boss I would be hiding it from myself

Are you going with your boss? and is your pant worth 5 grand ?

Get the point here my friend.

jdc · 27 September 2008, 05:00 AM

No. My boss is a she, no-one at work has ever asked or commented on my watch

cody p · 27 September 2008, 05:01 AM

currently don't have a boss. but if i did have a jealous/envious/vindictave/arsehole for a boss, then i would probably try to stay under his 'rolex radar'.
