Swim trunks, frozen drink, and rolex?

Do you wear your rolex when you sun bathe? I usually take it off for fear of a long lasting white circle around my wrist...

depends on where I am, but since my watch is almost always on the untanned part of my wrist wouldn't show anyway

I alternate and put the Sub on the other wrist to get rid of the ring.

Markus, I didn't think you allowed prolonged sun exposure to your skin at all!

Greg are you talking about my "head-skin"?

That's what baseball caps are for!

I like to wear a watch at the beach, for ocean. But those tan marks... Just switch wrists!

We don't get the sun enough here in England for it to be a problem. On holiday I usually keep my watch on all the time, regardless of what I'm up to.

I take it off when I'm at home in the pool but leave it on when on vacation at the beach.
