Would you drive 100 miles for your Rolex?
A long stretch, but say you discover your wrist is empty after a 50 mile drive from home....would you U TURN to get it?
Assuming you'd be gone for 5 days.. |

Depends on how long I'm going to be gone. If it's just for the day, probably not. Gone for a week, I'm headed back!

No, I wouldn't turn around, but I would more than likely pickup another watch during the trip- probably a Tudor.

Rolex or no rolex, if I am going away for 5 days and I am 50 miles from I home I am going back! Heck I lose my mind when I rush to work and leave my watch behind! For five days? No way can I go that long with no watch!

Would you drive 100 miles for your Rolex?
I'm sure I wouldn't turn around in the end, but I'd be annoyed that I left it!

Nope I won't but I'll try to buy one before I hit the next 50 miles and fill up my wrist

If I'm leaving for a week, assuming I'm going on a vacation. That being the case, may just have the perfect excuse to get another one!

No, I wouldn't turn back. If anything, I'd notice before I was 50 miles out.

Yeah, I probably would. Of course it depends on a lot of factors, traffic, what time my plane leaves etc etc

I would never forget my watch but if i did it would be a close call between driving back and buying a new one. Would depend on how far away I was.
