Do you let your spouse or friend with benefits wear your Rolex?

I don’t.

You?

Yep.. on occasion. She prefers her Patek most of the time though..




She is also wanting a Hulk for us to “share”..!

My wife has her own Rolex but sometimes she wears my Daytona. I let both of my sons wear my watches occasionally when they are home visiting.

That’s a hard NO. However, I threw the offer to my SA at the AD. He hooks me up.

my wife doesnt care for them. She will put it on to hold it for me if we're out and asked her to hold it for me. Like if I go to the beach and go swimming, I'll take it off and have her wear it for me while I'm in the water. But other than that, she won't pick it up and wear it on her own. I wouldn't care if she did either.

That’s a good question and the answer is quite complicated.. it is a hard NO.

Absolutely! I can't imagine why I wouldn't... Rolexes are nice watches, but in the end, they are JUST watches...my wife on the other hand is a total one of a kind!!

No. Mine is too large for her and she has her own that she loves. Problem solved!

I used to but she's extremely hard on watches. Eventually I just started buying watches for her. Started with a OP36 grape dial, and now her daily is a 114060. I've got a DJ36 on order for her now. Her Sub is pretty beat up, as it never leaves her wrist. When her DJ comes in I'll post some pics of the Sub, it's impressive!

She is more than welcome to wear it, I’ve actually tried to get her to. She doesn’t care about it, her Garmin checks all the boxes she has. Doesn’t bother me one way or the other.

Everything that is mine, is also my wife’s.

The only watch she likes wearing is my Daytona 116508. It makes me happy to see her wear it.

Great question! Well, speaking frankly…

They’d have to be some pretty f’n good benefits for me to let them wear any of my watches! Just saying…
