‘Does wearing a Rolex during my vacation scheme send the wrong message?’

Come to the ‘land, you’ll be welcome as a kindred spirit with that sort of watch. You’ll be in your first Lambo by the end of week 1.

Absolutely NOT. You will definitely come across like an entitled prick.

I promise you no one will care but if you go around saying ‘have you seen my watch?’ people will think you’re an ass

Commenters, don’t knock the question; as the grad points out, the subject hasn’t been covered and so if you are not already within a law firm to some capacity, the question is entirely fair.

Everybody will form some sort of opinion as soon as they see a Rolex / ‘nice’ looking watch. If you’re not wearing one, you are not providing an opportunity to create a negative impression.

The only circumstance in which I would 100% back wearing a Rolex is to distract from some horrible wart on your wrist or something idk.

Where an AP

you’ll get robbed on the way there

I’ll flow against the tide here. I don’t see an issue with wearing it, providing its not mega flashy (ie. It’s a dress watch, not a sports watch) and you don’t go around deliberately drawing attention to it as others have mentioned.

I wore a dress watch I inherited from my dad throughout applying for pupillage and it gave me quiet confidence and comfort, so there are benefits to it. It could also give the impression you are put together and care about your appearance, which I always valued and think gives a good first impression.

If it is going to cause anxiety and make you self conscious, however, then don’t wear it. It won’t get you through the vac scheme on its own, so consider if it will enhance or detract from the way you can perform or present yourself.

Google Rolex robbery, Colmore Row Birmingham, BBC News. the robbery took place beneath our clerks room video. I live in East Birmingham, a man was murdered for his Rolex at the Heathway Shopping Centre, Shard End. Google that. Your choice.
