"daily wear" should be sufficent for the watch to remain wound, but i do wear mine overnight now, i just forget its there[my SS Rolex's always seemed to irritate! after extended wear

Wear mine all the time. Only take it off when I shower.

mlb · 11 May 2007, 04:57 PM

Don't wear it during sleep in fear of clasp opening and me rolling on it all night.

TARDIS · 11 May 2007, 05:18 PM

I don't wear the Sub to sleep unless I am camping.

Same here

BondandBigM · 11 May 2007, 05:42 PM

Apart from the odd occasion when I wear one of my other watches I have mine on 24/7 even in the shower, pool or wherever.

mopsey · 11 May 2007, 06:05 PM

I take it off in the morning before i go to work and put it back on in the evenings after showering.
Thats the only time i take it off really.

Erix · 11 May 2007, 06:26 PM

I take it off during nigth, unless I am sleeping away from home.

Incurable · 11 May 2007, 06:27 PM

24/7/365... nothing like bezel face in the morning

leopardprey · 11 May 2007, 08:17 PM

If your tossing and turning and kicking that much at night while you sleep, enough to have the clasp come off, you got a sleep problem!!! LOL LOL

astcell · 11 May 2007, 08:29 PM

Having such a weigh on my wrist would bother me. I would need a counterweight on the other wrist.

Arturo · 11 May 2007, 11:10 PM

I wear mine frequently at night. I used to operate under an urban myth that when you slept the flexion and extension of the wrists would cause bracelet stretch. I feel confident after hearing the comments of the people on this list that such does not happen. One could, I suppose, roll over on your wrist and sleep on the watch when the bracelet was low on the hand and possibly stretch it, but I have pretty much abandoned the worries and sleep with the Roller Babies.

Ok, who's going to be the first with the sheep reference! How about,"I love ewe dear!"

Seriously, I don't sleep with mine on. In fact, I'll take mine off early in the evening most times because looking at my watch distracts me from any TV program I might be watching. I do use a winder though, on my spare.

rolexfan21 · 12 May 2007, 01:36 AM

I sleep with it on occasionally i dont keep track. I try to take it off when i shower and never wear it when i workout

Gedanken · 12 May 2007, 01:42 AM

One on the bedside table and two on the winder. I take it off so I don't accidentally end up clocking the missus with the SD in the middle of the night.

cyphead · 12 May 2007, 03:33 AM

I sleep on my left arm (the one i wear my dj on) so I take mine off before bedtime...don't want the metal digging into my head

No watch winder needed as it is put on the next morning

alglez · 12 May 2007, 03:34 AM

I cant sleep with it I have to take it off at night but if I go camping I wont take if off for nothing.

diablojota · 12 May 2007, 03:52 AM

I sleep with mine and wear it in the shower. I only take it off to work on the car or when I am with my gf.

GrandDaddy · 12 May 2007, 04:11 AM

Just hope you don't bang your bed-mate with your SD while you sleep. That thing is thick and heavy - it could hurt. It could hurt you too when your mate hits you back with the alarm clock or the lamp. LOL

Solo118 · 12 May 2007, 04:25 AM

I never sleep with it, One of the first nights I had it I did leave it on but when I woke up I hit the headboard by accident and I scratched the bracelet, I said that wont be happening again! I also take it off while showering

BUT! If I am out of town it does not leave my wrist even to shower! (paranoid)

Obsession · 12 May 2007, 04:41 AM

I dont have a Rolex yet but I will certainly have for now I sleep with my Tissot, but when I will ve Rolex I will also put a cotton to my wrist as Prince does. =)

bmackinlay · 12 May 2007, 04:57 AM

I sleep and shower with my GMT Master ll 18K, only take it off when working with the farm equipment. Hayman4353

Lane from s.c. · 12 May 2007, 08:51 AM

24/7 for me. Work out run, even ride my crotch rocket with in on but I do not motocross with it, It would beat my arm to death, and It would prolly wind up so tight it would run like a stop watch. :-0

AZeng · 12 May 2007, 09:29 AM

I take mine off only on the 1st of March, May, July, October and December to set the date and ocasionally in the shower to scrub it out with a toothbrush.

Same here. But since I haven't been camping in about 20 years (long before I got my first Rollie), that means I always take mine off at night. I keep the other 8 that I'm not wearing on winders.

mikey · 12 May 2007, 12:00 PM

Only take it off to take a bath
