I gave up wearing watches a long time ago as I got acclimated to working precisely by the hour (50-minute hour, actually)- plus I worked outdoors when I was a kid and a watch got banged up too easily; so knowing when it was lunch hour became instinct.
Besides, it's always right now!

I don't wear one at the doctors office but I do when I'm doing the inventory at stores.

Very nice watch, Joey! And not just because it's a Rolex. It's ART.
In today's crazy techno gadget electronic world, there is something just sooooooo cool about a well made, HAND made watch. With computers doing so many things, great watches are an example of great engineering, craftsmanship and creativity by people, not machines. Yes ... I'm a geek. I admit it. I love nice watches. I wear a Baume Mercier, will try to get a pic, and I love it still after 10+ years. I wear my watch every day because I'm punctuality impaired and because it's part of my every day jewelry that I feel "nekkid" without.

Very nice watch!
Here's my Bulova Accutron. It was a graduation present, so I don't wear it very often. I also have a Seiko Kinetic kicking around, but my parents got that for me in the 5th grade, so even though it still works, it's pretty beaten up and could use a trip to the jewelers.

The dial face of mine is a one-of-a-kind. The 70 diamonds were hand set by Royal Jewelers in Fargo. I will wear it until I'm dead and then hand it down to my favorite male descendent (to be determined thus far.) Unless I traded the face in for a "stock" face, I can't buy a face rom Rolex to replace it. I'd have to buy one on the black market. |

 Even when I do wear it though, I find myself checking my phone for the time LOL bad habit I guess.The face of your watch is amazing. My Dad wears a Rolex similar to yours as well. He had bought one as a kid as well that still works. They are great watches and it should last you a life time (provided you don't have a run in with a destructive crazy ER patient)

I think this is the first poll I ever posted that stayed on topic and got decent votes. Who'da thunk it? I'm kinda surprised watches are still so popular.
Hopefully, I didn't just doom the thread.

I wear a watch all week long, but rarely on weekends. I rely on my cell phone for the time. I would wear a wtch on weekends, but I'm always doing dirty work and I don't want to ruin my Movado. When I was surfing regularly I always wore a waterproof model on the weekends and I generally lost them on a regular basis.
Here's mine:  PS: Pete, I see that you have been sucked back into the Lounge Vortex.

I wear one at work, but only because cameras aren't allowed on the grounds and I don't want a cell phone without a camera.
 The one I wear is a Watchup that I bought during a layover in the Amsterdam airport for 120 Euros.
