Heres a Fun Rolex related Girlfriend story....

So my girlfriend and I are horsing around and wrestling, I had my hand behind her head and I pull my arm out kinda fast. About 20 hairs were wrapped around the bezel and she's screaming and laughing for me to stop pulling her hair out. So we carefully move out into an open area to see the damage. Meanwhile after I detached the rest of the hair stuck in my watch from her head she's apologizing for breaking my Rolex. I told her to calm down and it wasn't her fault. I had to pop the bezel off to get the rest of the hair out but unfortunately it was stuck under the lowest ring of the bezel and I wasn't sure if it was ok to take that off. I got the hair out for the most part but the next person to service my watch is going to find a fe threads of hair. BTW that is the second time my rolex was damaged by a girlfriend. Is my problem as common with you guys? Any other related stories?

Sounds like you have a good girlfriend. Apologizing cuz her hair got stuck in your watch.

None of my girlfriends ever damaged my rolex. It tangled her hair once, but nothing stuck in the bezel.

A new thread is born.

Is it safe to wear my Rolex around my girlfreind? No.

Around my wife? Maybe so, by that time no more horsing around usually takes place.

This is good stuff.

My girlfriend has put a couple scratches on my watches with her ring.
I always tried my hardest not to flip out. She's awesome enough to just avoid my left side now.

BTW, The Joker and Captain Jack in one thread? Epic.

I was doing the same thing with my girlfriend and completely shattered the glass on the granite counter top corner in the kitchen.
It was time for a tune up anyways.. GMT MASTER II was injured in the line of duty, runs like a champ still, what a watch it has been, it's been so beat up, looks great anyways

Changing it back to coke bezel next week
