Ouch! Why you gotta pick on us old guys that still wear watches!! Wearing a watch has to be better than the 60 year old guy who still wears the Mr. T starter kit necklace set and wears his shirt so you can see it!!! LOL Originally Posted by SpacemtnAgreed.

So having a Rolex, a Tag Heuer or a Mont Blanc is a great thing. IMHO.
Also, every time I interview a young engineer, I always observe whether or not he or she wears a watch. If he wears one, my respect to him grows, especially the current generation. It's not a requirement or main decision maker but when I have 2 almost identical potential candidates, that simple watch thing could be a decisive factor. Apparently, my boss and colleagues do the same thing.
