I've heard that some people wear their watches to bed while others wear their watches in the shower while some wear their Rolexes gardening or fixing their car.

Me? I take mine off every night and wipe it down clean. I never-ever wear it in the shower. Something about soap-scum on a Daytona just isn't cool...

So, my question is; when do you take your Rolex(s) off?

My current collection of Rolexes consists of three: Rolex sub, GMT Master 11 and a Daytona.

I take my sub off before I get into bed, and put it on after I've showered in the morning, as I leave my bedroom.

I also remove it if I shower during the day, to wash the car, do home repairs/painting or do yardwork. During most any other activity, I keep it on.

Brushpup · 29 April 2011, 03:22 AM

Sometimes before bed, usually before doing something like reaching way into an engine compartment or similar....no other times I can think of.

rad87gn · 29 April 2011, 03:28 AM

Only time I take it off is most of the time but not always before getting in the shower.

Grumpy Badger · 29 April 2011, 03:28 AM

I ALWAYS have a watch on my wrist except momentarily for cleaning, changing strap/watch ect.

TopNotchChach · 29 April 2011, 03:29 AM

Before i go to bed.

boogiebot · 29 April 2011, 03:30 AM

i only wear my watches if im hanging out doing nothing. they never see water or any sort of activities. i guess im just one of those weirdo like people that cant stand scratches...lol

jamesbondOO7 · 29 April 2011, 03:32 AM

When I need to adjust the time or put another watch on.

Me too!

Abid · 29 April 2011, 03:45 AM

I wear my sub 24/7 shower, sleep, weight training, intense cardio sessions, everywhere and in every situation. I bought it to wear it not sit at home. Although If I had a daytona maybe I would be a little bit more careful with what I do with it.

ecsub44 · 29 April 2011, 03:49 AM

The only time I take it off is when I'm running. It's a bit too bulky for long durations of sweaty running. Otherwise, it's ALWAYS on my wrist (including long-distance swimming, cycling, yard work, etc.).

Medtech · 29 April 2011, 04:07 AM

Never

bighaole · 29 April 2011, 04:12 AM

I take it off before bed and when going in the shower. Some days, when I'm particularly exhausted, I'll take it off when I get home from work, but usually not.

Rollie2011 · 29 April 2011, 04:12 AM

That baby stays on my rest except for when i sleep.

Something about sleeping with it makes me uneasy.
Thats why I have a big digital am/fm on the nightstand

Dan2000 · 29 April 2011, 04:14 AM

Before bed, it goes back in the box, except on vacation when it's on 24/7. If I am doing any labor intensive work or working out, I remove it. If I wash the car, it's off. I am more worried about scratching the car here...

novae500 · 29 April 2011, 04:28 AM

I wear it 24/7 most of the time. I take it off when i work on my cars or to clean it.

esm · 29 April 2011, 04:31 AM

as soon as i get home.

Brentomatic · 29 April 2011, 04:34 AM

Interesting...

Chris B · 29 April 2011, 04:44 AM

Only take it off for high risk stuff, jack-hammer, car engines, welding,
bricklaying etc

phampau · 29 April 2011, 04:46 AM

I take off when I get home from work, and put it on in the morning rigtht before work. I never shower with my watches.

rolexertion · 29 April 2011, 04:50 AM

If I'm wearing shoes, I'm wearing a watch.

+1. Exactly.

ArcticMoose · 29 April 2011, 05:14 AM

When I got my first Sub it didn't leave my wrist once for months.

Now I generally only take my watch off to put on a different one, unless it has a leather strap.

tkc324 · 29 April 2011, 05:37 AM

watch only comes off the wrist when i am switching to another watch...

barters · 29 April 2011, 06:27 AM

I take it off at night & then put it back on (if it's getting chosen that day) in the morning after showering. I do however wear it to play tennis, swim in the sea & do other chores. In the beginning though there was a lot of initial babying!

P.S I have a ss sub which I guess is one of the more robust models.

Barry from Eastender · 29 April 2011, 06:30 AM

I take mine off approx twice a year. during sex.....

Explorer 2011 · 29 April 2011, 06:32 AM

I wear mine ALL THE TIME. Sleeping, working,swimming running etc... However I do not when cycling. I fell off last year (hit by a motorbike actually) broke my arm in 2 places and scuffed my old Tissot beater in the process.

I am not risking that with my Rolex as I have a habit of falling off.

Off for a 4 hour ride tomorrow and wearing the beater.

TempoKing · 29 April 2011, 06:32 AM

I only wear my Rolex watches during the day
The moment I get home off it goes.

Will wear a different watch the next day
around 11am ... before I leave my house.
I am quorky like that...what can I say.
