Watch Spotting at the Gym
Was at the gym yesterday and spotted two Rolex. One Sub date and one GMT Master II with a black bezel.

Ended up talking to the guy with the GMT for some time. He bought it three years ago and had no idea that they were being discontinued. I told him to hang on to it as it could be a classic someday.

He says he never takes it off thus he even works out in it. We talked at length about various ADs and Rolex. Good times.

Hey, if wearing a Rolex to the gym works for him why not, just as long he doesn't try to test the shock resistance by dropping a dumb bell on his GMT

Do you wear your Rollie when you put patients to sleep? Just curious.

I have been trying to remember to take my watch off before I work out just recently.

It's mostly the crystal that gets banged up. For instance, when I do cable crossovers, it's hard to avoid metal-on-metal or metal-on-plastic scratching.

Before I spent all the money getting my watches reconditioned, I worked out in them without hesitation.
