I have a confession to make. Ever since I purchased my Rolex watches, I dislike it when I'm not wearing one. I have one for the office, one for weekends, and one for work. I even wear one underwater. It's gotten to the point where there is a permanent untanned band on my left wrist.

andrew79 · 19 July 2010, 05:33 PM

hm... not naked IMO.... just incomplete.... :)

rolexsubdate · 19 July 2010, 10:21 PM

Leaving the house without wearing ANY watch on my wrist, is like the feeling you get when you don't put on your seatbelt .... something is missing....

Watch Professor · 19 July 2010, 10:31 PM

I once left for a week's vacation and forgot a watch. It was brutal. I lasted one day and had to buy an inexpensive one to tide me over.

GregWormald · 19 July 2010, 10:36 PM

When my Rolex was out at the Rolex spa, the space on my wrist was occupied by a very nice Oris.

So I wasn't naked, but it wasn't the same!

For one, the Oris 50 metres waterproof is only good for washing hands!! Even wearing in the shower is not covered!

I haven't been wearing my Sub for over a week in anticipation of trading it. No need to accumulate any more scratches. Definitely does not feel the same without my Sub. Checking the time is no longer an 'event'...haha

javentura · 19 July 2010, 10:51 PM

Not just Rolex any other watch. It is said a watch is a man's greatest accessory.

Speed · 19 July 2010, 10:53 PM

How naked go the sometimes nude!

rkboyer911 · 19 July 2010, 11:11 PM

When I sent mine in to the RSC for a tune up I wore my Seiko Diver...It just wasnt the same. It was a long 6 weeks till my SD came home!! Makes me think I should just sell my Seiko Diver..........

I know the feeling. I'm wearing my Seiko diver until my tradde transaction is all completed. Definitely not the same.

Last summer, around this time, put my Sub in for full service and was without it for about a month, awful!!

Last week took it back in for regulation as it seems to have gotten magnetized (went from +1 per day to +12 per day in one weekend!) by being in my golf bag (too) near a putter head cover with magnetic flaps.

Been wearing my Casio Pathfinder which serves the purpose but not having the Sub is killing me, can barely wait for the call to come pick it up!

The GMT Kid · 20 July 2010, 05:43 AM

Well, let me think about that.

I'm not wearing a watch, and I do feel naked.

Oh, wait a minute.

I am naked.

coolcobramatt · 19 July 2010, 11:15 PM

I only feel naked when I get out of the shower.

(for the record though, until I bought my Sub 3 weeks ago, I hadn't worn a watch in over 10 years)

Shade · 19 July 2010, 11:17 PM

Well not exactly naked, but I just feel uneasy and something is left behind. And its the same feeling for any watch, I need to wear one when I'm out.. Even when I'm home sometimes..

sakuraba · 20 July 2010, 12:14 AM

I'm so used to wearing a watch it feels like I'm going commando when I leave my wrist naked.

Love it Jib! Commando!

TimeOnHand · 20 July 2010, 12:22 AM

I can't leave my house with out a watch!

psv · 20 July 2010, 12:56 AM

It might feel a bit odd for a sec to be without a watch, but no, I don't feel naked/incomplete/less of a person without a Rolex on my arm. If you do, I'd see someone about that! :-)

Sounds like a LOT of us, me included should be calling the therapist

! I wear a watch 24/7, having both the E-II and the 16710 in for service at the same time is a bad thing.

Rolesor · 20 July 2010, 12:59 AM

I feel off balance with out the added weight to my wrist lol

inLine4 · 20 July 2010, 01:03 AM

Going out w/o my watch is like going out w/o pants.

Dr. Robert · 20 July 2010, 01:45 AM

Yes, si, oui. ja.

Rebel · 20 July 2010, 01:50 AM

Yes.

Kapture1 · 20 July 2010, 02:04 AM

Naked without a watch, OH YEAH.

Doesn't have to be a Rolex, although thats what I prefer (has to be something tho)

rmfnla · 20 July 2010, 02:07 AM

No, it has to be a Rolex.

NMS75 · 20 July 2010, 02:14 AM

Going out without my watch feels worse then going out without my mobile phone! I must also admit that if I wear any watch other than my Rolex it somehow doesn't feel 'as good'!

sturgeon123456 · 20 July 2010, 08:19 AM

I only feel naked when I'm naked.

GradyPhilpott · 20 July 2010, 10:13 AM

I feel lost without a watch. I just feel more comfortable with my Explorer on my wrist, rather than sitting at home.

Watchdog · 20 July 2010, 10:48 AM

So used to having a watch on my wrist, it actually gives me pause when I don't.

EE33 · 20 July 2010, 11:55 AM

Blue Sub, Mobile phone, wallet, cigarettes and lighter all rest atop the fish tank when I'm home.........never leave home without the lot.
