A gentleman takes his watch off at night and places it in a position beside the bed to be visible.

This prevents the possibility of scratching your partners delicate skin should the occassion (or anything else) arise.

This also provided a convenient way to time yourself.

I never sleep with it, One of the first nights I had it I did leave it on but when I woke up I hit the headboard by accident and I scratched the bracelet, I said that wont be happening again! I also take it off while showering

BUT! If I am out of town it does not leave my wrist even to shower! (paranoid)

Obsession · 12 May 2007, 04:41 AM

24/7 for me. Work out run, even ride my crotch rocket with in on but I do not motocross with it, It would beat my arm to death, and It would prolly wind up so tight it would run like a stop watch. :-0

I take mine off only on the 1st of March, May, July, October and December to set the date and ocasionally in the shower to scrub it out with a toothbrush.

montecristo · 12 May 2007, 02:50 PM

I usually take my watch off the moment I get home.

Lol-x · 19 August 2007, 11:49 PM

I guess it's what you get used to. I've been wearing mine 24-7 the last few weeks after not having done so for years.

SPACE-DWELLER · 19 August 2007, 11:55 PM

I never sleep with my Rolex on my wrist. I put it on my bedside table:

USMCsilver · 20 August 2007, 12:12 AM

Mine's been on for a couple of weeks now. Havn't really found a need to take it off (unless I'm switching straps).

Perdu · 20 August 2007, 04:00 AM

I never wear mine at night but I did just buy a winder.

greenfan · 20 August 2007, 05:17 AM

I cannot sleep waering a watch, it bothers me. So I put it in a drawer on a soft cloth...

I don't wear a watch or anything else when I go to bed.

ron17402 · 20 August 2007, 10:33 AM

I never sleep or shower with a watch on.

That's just wierd!!

waltk1026 · 20 August 2007, 11:03 AM

Personally I just like my watch off when I go to sleep. Never got used to it when sleeping.

AndrewG · 20 August 2007, 11:26 AM

My Explorer is too lumpy to sleep with-like some of my ex's...

colemanitis · 20 August 2007, 11:27 AM

I take mine off every night when going to bed. Like many others here, it never leaves my wrist when I travel.

GoldenBear · 20 August 2007, 11:39 AM

I never take mine off. Wear it to bed, shower and swimming. Everything. Feel naked without it.

Letsgodiving · 20 August 2007, 11:39 AM

I have always worn a watch when I go to bed and it is no different w/ my SD but it does bother me a little b/c I can actually hear the ticking through the pillow if I stick my hand under my head. I have to move my hand away from my ear or it bothers me. Small price to pay I suppose.

Tombstone · 28 August 2007, 07:28 PM

I don't sleep with my watch on as it is too hard on the band. Most ADs who sell Rolex say not to sleep with your watch or rings on as it wears them down over time. Many a diamond has been lost from a ring because the claps/ prongs became worn and could no longer hold the stone. A band can get damaged when sleeping with your watch on I bent the clasp on my SD when I feel asleep with it on by mistake the safety clasp would not hold had to be replaced.

frostie · 28 August 2007, 09:27 PM

Actually i heard the same thing from another guy. I have friend that scratched really all the band while sleeping. And guess what it was 5 hours after he purchased the watch.

Destroy · 28 August 2007, 09:42 PM

Do new rollies take to time to "wear in"? I was wearing mine all day the other day, took it off at around 6pm and it stopped at 9pm. Now, I don't move around a lot at work - at a desk a lot - and I took it off at lunch for a 2 hr gym session. Is that normal?

Well, I seem to live the same way as you, spending a LOT of time in an office (12-13 hours a day). About "wearing in" Rolex watches (or automatic/mechanical watches in general, I'd say) my AD says that you cannot count on its (FINAL) precision before about a month's time has elapsed since wearing it for the first time.

And I think it is true:

I have had my SS Sub Date EXACTLY for ONE month today, having bought it on Friday, the 27th. of July.

To start with, my Rolex went 1½ seconds fast a day. Then about 14 days afterwards, it was nearly THREE secs fast a day.

At that time, I popped by at my AD to ask him about the reason of this "double-up" change and whether I should have it adjusted, but he told me "Come again in a month's time, because adjusting it now would make NO sense!".

But now it seems to have settled to just a bit under ONE sec a day

BTW: Wow, I am hooked!

Because after having sat in front of a PC all day, also posting here, what do I do as soon as I come home??

EXACTLY
