Yes it is safe to wear your Rolex everywhere>>>>>

Just protect it with duct tape and you are safe. No marks, dings or thiefs will reach it and if you are late you
can blame the unreadable dial.

And hang a few paperclips, pencils, etc, from the tape and you'll have a nice utili-watch.

I will improve on that design and use transparent scotch tape over the watch face but wrap the watch face in cling wrap first to avoid sticky residue from the tape

By the looks of it you sir are a lier, that looks like a 40mm watch and yet no dents from the bezel or bubble from the cyclops.

What watch did you use for this experiment? Your childs precious power ranger watch?

I've found this works well, at least in Santorini and London. Haven't tried it at the beach yet...

Tacky Jocke! You should be ashamed of yourself.

I would never put average grey duct tape on my watch. I only use black Gorilla tape, yes I know it costs more, but it hide my watch better.
