Is it safe to wear my Rolex............

If you have any doubt as to where you are going leave the Rolex at home and wear your Timex, no one would steal a Timex. Now quit with the threads about wearing your Rolex.

Dr. Robert · 12 April 2011, 11:59 AM

If it's a vintage Timex you may want to re-consider.

paddy_crow · 12 April 2011, 12:00 PM

I don't have a Timex.

HL65 · 12 April 2011, 12:17 PM

What about to NY? Is it safe to wear it there? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Not!!!!!!!!

moviefreak · 12 April 2011, 12:24 PM

The real questio is if it is safer on the left or the right hand...

usbzoso · 12 April 2011, 12:25 PM

is Timex water proof?

STEELINOX · 12 April 2011, 12:25 PM

I go with both wrists having watches, so I can show it either way

a great suggestion...

Grissom · 12 April 2011, 12:38 PM

I say leave your wrists at home, when you go out!

LightOnAHill · 12 April 2011, 12:40 PM

......with a condom?

sperez1971 · 12 April 2011, 12:41 PM

How about keeping your watch in your pocket???? Safe then? :)

Medtech · 12 April 2011, 12:42 PM

If I wear it on the inside of my wrist, is it safe??

threemonkeys · 12 April 2011, 12:45 PM

Who's gonna suggest wearing a timex on their ankle? Certainly not me. Not gonna go there. No, No, No.

Now let's all go on over and see the latest destruction happening in one of our 'watches for teens' posts of the day, shall we?

Speed · 12 April 2011, 12:46 PM

It depends what sort of discount you got on the Rolex...or if you sleep with it.

lortap · 12 April 2011, 12:47 PM

Medtech, only if you first shave off the crown from the bracelet. Judging some of the polishing jobs I've seen, should not be too hard to do for some.

lortap · 12 April 2011, 12:49 PM

Next discussion: should I let my teen wear their watch in (insert city here).

Mike - If you post that question I will seriously buy you a beer if you ever come to Seattle. What's more, I would be honored to post the first reply.

johnbeth · 12 April 2011, 12:52 PM

Jan I have the same feeling,

How about the threads "should I buy a rolex for my 7yo" "13yo" etc....

Geez!!!

HKtoter · 12 April 2011, 01:58 PM

People don't notice my GMT. I get comments on my $42. Casio often.

Jan Davis · 12 April 2011, 01:59 PM

Well we have a census here, quit the stupid questions.

Stupid for you maybe Jan, but for other's, it's a learning curve....

Now I'm always up for a bit of fun on the boards, but post like this don't help the cause of unifying the members in a common goal. That is to learn about watches!!

Sure, there are odd questions posted all the time, but remember, we were all a novice at some point in our lives!!

My suggestion is, steer clear of these "stupid questions" threads and don't post on them.
This way, the arguments and poor social dilemmas will be reduced, and overall beneficial to the forum as whole.

this thread made me laugh pretty hard

Jocke · 12 April 2011, 03:01 PM

It's never safe to wear a Timex, not even on rubber.

Dr. Robert · 12 April 2011, 03:09 PM

Speaking of Timex & Rolex.......I went over to see my blonde girlfriend today, she got 2 dogs, German shepherds....I asked her what she named them, she said Rolex & Timex...I asked why, they're odd names????? She said they were watchdogs.
