when you are not wearing
do you guys keep your rolex in the box it came in? Have you bought a seperate box? Just curious. I've had mine on my desk on top of a wool sock.

I put my watches in a winder when I'm not wearing them.

Mine just sits on the dresser. Haven't had a problem in 10+ years...

most of my watches are on a tray in a safe. others are on a winder (complicated pieces that i am too lazy to set), but generally speaking i never keep my watches in the original box.

I first clean it after each use, then dry it off with my special Rolex micro-fiber cloth. After that I put it a sun glass case type pouch and wrap in bubble wrap. Then it's put in my storage box for the next morning. Pretty much sums it up for caring.

I can't believe nobody mention this yet ...

When I am not wearing my Rolex(es), they are in my watch box .. next to my shotgun .. next to my guard dogs ...

LOL :D

Anywhere on my dresser, bathroom counter, bedside table, kitchen counter etc. I guess I'm saying no particular place just what's closest when I take it off. It's not going to get "hurt" if it doesn't have some Rolex "bed" to place it on.

Kitchen counter on a microsoft cloth. If I'm going to wear another watch, I place it in the other watch's spot in the watch case.

I rotate the watch and pens each week. The watch is on a soft cloth. The ones not being worn are in the boxes
