Seriously, I never take my Rolex off.

I have a DSSD, it does have a tiny chip and thousands of scratches (that make none noticeable). I swim with it, go to gym, jetski, sleep you name it..

On occasion, while lying in the bath, I will give it a good wash but besides that it has been on my wrist for a few years now.

When I must take it off (to set the date) I feel naked..

How abnormal am I?

MonBK · 27 May 2014, 11:53 PM

Normal I guess

Ed Man · 27 May 2014, 11:56 PM

I wouldn't call you abnormal because lots of folks here are the same way. Me, I take my watch off every night and when I do any physical activity. I just don't like wearing a watch all the time. There are time, such as playing golf, when a watch just doesn't feel right on my wrist.

yip, I had that problem, but overcame it when I noticed how much the caddies were stealing cash out my bag, I thought a watch would be at risk so now play happily with a watch on. (That was one of the few times I took my watch off)..and yes cadies are cheap to pay where I come from..

beshannon · 28 May 2014, 12:00 AM

I do not wear a watch when I do not need to know the time, others may feel differently

I have some sort of ocd where I need to know the time all the time....even at night.. strange I know

superdog · 28 May 2014, 12:07 AM

i pretty much wear mine all the time.

i take it off only in the shower and at my desk. i don't like the feel of it on my computer.

but everything else is fair game.

FiftyTwoEighty · 28 May 2014, 12:28 AM

Sounds perfectly normal to me!

The only time mine comes off is when another one goes on.

AndyK · 28 May 2014, 01:27 AM

I take my Rolex(es) off all the time, mainly to shower or to rotate to another watch. But I have a watch on all the time unless I'm in the shower.

FTX I · 28 May 2014, 01:30 AM

Only plastic & light watches for sport here.

Chewbacca · 28 May 2014, 01:35 AM

seems all normal (whatever that means) except the naked without it part.

Quackers · 28 May 2014, 01:42 AM

I've had my Breitling for 14 years (in a couple of weeks time) and in all that time it's been off my wrist for 3 weeks which was when Breitling had it for a service.
Due another soon

Actually, on a different tack, I noticed Vanessa CW21's comment in an older thread about the extra wear playing golf with a watch on can cause (which she terms as "abuse"). Food for thought.

I wear the watch when i am feeling down, am in public or school and need to know the time.

mjclark32 · 28 May 2014, 01:53 AM

Other than sleeping, it's always on my wrist.

Survivor · 28 May 2014, 01:59 AM

You're the sane one...........the guys on here, worried about hairline scratches on the clasp, taking a shower or going in a pool, working out, whatever.....there is seriously something wrong with them. Its a watch........wear it!!!!!

Jake B · 28 May 2014, 02:00 AM

Comes off for sleep & showers.

thomaspp · 28 May 2014, 02:16 AM

thanks for all the positive feedback

Buy another Rolex.

rmfnla · 28 May 2014, 02:25 AM

Mine comes off for sleep and any mechanical / home improvement work, but the latter is for safely reasons as well.

I've started riding my bike into the office a few days a week and I stick my DJ into a padded pocket in my backpack just in case I take a spill, but it goes right back on my wrist when I hit my destination (and stays on when I go into the shower when I get home)...

Mystro · 28 May 2014, 02:31 AM

I take them off at night and showers, etc...

I'm exactly the same! I never take it off!

REFZ · 28 May 2014, 03:29 AM

After my daily morning shower I start wearing my watches and when I go to bed I take them off for the night.
In some cases I change my good watches for a beater when working on my hobby cars or stuff like that.

jamesbondOO7 · 28 May 2014, 03:28 AM

Normal. I am watchless just during the change over to another one.

5253Reynolds · 28 May 2014, 03:31 AM

Mine only comes off for strap/bracelet changes and occasionally I take it off to look at the watch when I'm bored.

tkerrmd · 28 May 2014, 03:36 AM

the word never is a lot, but always have it on while I am up and about, I do take it off and wash it weekly

travisb · 28 May 2014, 04:43 AM

Would love to see more pics if you get a chance.
