Wearing Rolex when sober?

Can you wear a Rolex when going to a night club being sober?

I'm afraid someone will recognize me and it might ruin my reputation.

What say you?

Sure. But don't get all pissy when a drunk club rat slams into it or Knocks it off your wrist. Happened to me once. Thank God it was an omega.

Who could stand to be in a night club while sober with all the smoke, lights, crowds, etc.?

Mon, I think this thread was inspired by another thread on here...can I wear my Rolex when I am drunk (mind you it wasn't set in these specific words )

Oh and yes I always wear a Rolex when sober (its' been ages since I was last drunk)

Yes Mon. It is OK, you will be recognized and your reputation proceeds you.

The problem of staying sober is that is as good as you will feel all day

It is safe, but, you need a drink in your watch hand to use as a prop. It will properly show your watch, facing outwards, and will protect it from all but the drunkest people. Who wants to bump into a drink. jmho

I was sober once. No fun!

I didn't even have a Rolex on at the time.

Nightclub? Gosh, I haven't been inside one if those in years.

At the time, I didn't drink, but I also could not afford a rolex.

So I'm stumped. I hope you find your answer.
