Is It Safe To Take Rolex Out Of Box To Wear Outside.

[padi56]

Is it safe threads please God give me strength, with today's Rolex wearers with special crystal buff clothes,special Rolex shampoo,special watch resting cloths. Please Rolex bring back the tool watches,and wearers of yesterdays past years.According to many on the net you can never be overly paranoid with Rolex watches as they are quite fragile if you wear them or take them out of the box, that's what some posts seem to portray on forum lately.But its safe if you just use common sense how and where you wear them.These ultimate Rolex watch protectors will protect your watch from the harmful rays from the moon, and the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, if you dare taking your Rolex out of its box and going outdoors. And will further protect it from very harmful specks of dust and god forbid any finger marks on case or crystal.This product has taken many years of development and uses the finest products known to man.The Officially Certified polypropylene Neoprene take 12 months to manufacture just like a Rolex watch. This combined with the super new superduper ding lock protection patented material gives ultimate protection for your Rolex.They have just brought out another product made from the same Certified polypropylene Neoprene to protect the Rolex box with special compartments for all the bits of sticky back plastic and other plastic bits.These box/watch protectors have been fully tested by NASA and will be used on the next mission to the moon.Now available in all the colours of the rainbow, plus any colour of your choice, just ask the special customisation dept.As for warranty its been tested to 10000 years so it should last a lifetime if normal routine service has been applied.

So here you are guys, crystal, scratch, theft,and super soft watch, and wrist protection for your Rolex. A bit naff looking but what Super protection,for already one of the toughest made watches on this planet today.Made from 4mm super super soft high density COSC tested, 100% Superlative Officially Certified polypropylene Neoprene, and no I will not tell you where you can buy them so don't ask.A Rolex is for life and wearing and don't need any sort of pampering except soap and water and routine service.

Hello, it barely rains where I am. However, the days it does rain can I wear my DSSD indoors?

We still have the accuracy to deal with. Usually, my watch is gaining 3 seconds a day, its out of tolerance by +1 from the Rolex -2/+2, now do I take it in for service ? And another headache is, do i send it in via the AD or do i go straight to the nearest RSC.
All the real world problems in owning a Rolex watch ! ha ha !

Where can I purchase the superduper ding lock protection? Very funny but sadly true!

[Moondoggy]

All I will say is they are not made as well as they were up to the early 2000’s, in my opinion.

What facts do you have to back that up, considering the material used are now more durable and the manufacturing processes have been refined and modernized?

I'm presuming your referring to the buyers and not the watches ?

I get your point, Peter. However, I will point out that in my diving days in Scotland I knew a couple of commercial North Sea divers who both had Rolex Sea-Dwellers. They wore them at work but to protect them from the rigours of underwater welding, etc they used a bicycle inner tube cut down a section of the middle over their watches. Tool watch and protection aren't mutually exclusive

Again if someone posted on say YouTube that to get the best accuracy from a Rolex they must hang upsidedown for 1 hour a day expect many would do it.As many of todays younger age whose sole information cupboard is in so called social media,Instagram,Youtube etc instead of using there own brain.And many now do what ever the likes of YouTube social media dictates what to buy or do, as so called social media YouTube etc have taken over there lives and use of there own brain power.Today social media should be renamed as its getting now in many ways to be very un-social media.

Quite true but just common sense by the divers, but afraid today common sense is sadly lacking with many today.

[Swearengen]

Is that a good investment Peter?

Common sense for people pointing a blowtorch and using a pounding hammer drill near the watch, but for everyday wearers and recreational divers and beach goers ….

Brilliant idea Peter that could make you a fortune

[hojlund]

keep your situational awareness all the time, you will be fine wearing your watch outside.

[58junior]

Make those in Rolex green, and you will make millions!

[Dan Pierce]

But should I tip my SA?

“Super ding lock protection”

[Wario406]

Best thread here since I joined!

[Podmornica]

That actually brings more attention to the wrist than the watch itself .. Pro thieves would likely assume you have something really valuable on your wrist, while in reality you may be wearing just a plain datejust!

After reading this two questions:

1 Shall we create a thread: Is it safe to post on this forum?
2. A poll average age group of forum user, or forum user mindset age group. We only need two age ranges are think old man 70-80 or old man 90+

Awesome Peter! Can you wear your Rolex while playing golf or carrying bags around for people that wear Rolex watches? People, please, wear your Rolex while playing golf; you will love it. Wear it also while playing drums, working on the car, and drinking bourbon.

I do indeed wear all my Rolex watches playing golf, although not all at the same time. Never had a problem.

I have also worn my AP’s playing golf, not quite the same success story!

1). It is safe as long as you are under water or in a car garage or construction site while wearing a Rolex.
2) I think just 80 plus works.

Haha, so true.

[Ketler]

I bought my first Rolex over 40 years ago because I wanted a nice watch that was rugged and would last...
To that end I have worn a Rolex (of one kind or another) all day every day since...And they have yet to let me down...
The thought of not wearing my watch because of what I was doing or where I was going never occurred to me...
For me, the pleasure of owning is in the wearing...

While funny. The fact is. Now. A younger 1st time Rolex owner is most likely stretching his budget to get a Rolex from an authorized dealer while waiting forever to actually get one from them. It is understandable to be very protective of this watch. It is an aspirational piece and a trophy to be cherished.

I still remember my 1st Rolex. A DJ turnograph. In 2001. After much deliberation I owned my first Rolex. I felt great and was introduced to the world of watches. I didn’t even know about watches till I asked my friend what type of watch he had on. It was a sub. I never wore a watch. 3 month later I had the DJ on my wrist. 3 month after that a sub date. lol. 3 month after that a stainless Daytona via grey market. I was hooked.

Well my Father way back in the late 1970s early 1980s took on two jobs and saved for almost 5 years to buy is first Rolex. Rolex watches have always been expensive and far more disposable income around today than it was back in the 1980s. The only difference back then sure Rolex watches were easier to buy from ADs, but although it was a huge expense for my Father he most certainly did not baby it .I own my Fathers 6263 now still ticking and keeping time but its one watch I would never ever sell at any price.

I don’t use a iPhone case or screen protector. A $1200 iPhone is a disposable item for me. I don’t put scratch guards on my watchs. But 15k plus watches are part of my collection and not considered disposable.

The younger collectors simply have a different perspective than you do. To them a Rolex is not a tool watch. Why do classic car collectors owners baby their cars? Same thing.

Screen protectors generally are not needed but not putting a case on it is just crazy because one drop can and often will screw a phone that would otherwise be protected by a case. if you see a $1200 iphone as 'disposable' then you don't appear to care so much about either your wallet or the environment.

If you truly see a $1200 iphone as 'disposable' then you would appear to have a rather relaxed attitude to both your wallet and the negative environment impact.
