4) Avoid eating cheese. Rolexes are lactose intolerant

5) If you wear a Rolex when driving, make sure you drive in the same lane as the hand you wear it on. Not following this advice could make your watch explode.

6) You can wear a Rolex when clubbing, but dancing may cause irreversible damage to your dignity

7) Allowing your Rolex to smoke 20 Marlboros a day significantly improves accuracy, although it may develop a nasty cough
That is helping. Thanks! About 4, does that include all produces from Wisconsin?

Of course, he doesn't even have to move or wind it. Chuck Norris will just look at it and the watch becomes scared and moves, keeping it self wound.

Chuck Norris is so powerful he can stop a Rolex by pointing at it. If your Rolex has stopped Chuck is near by. You may not see him but he can see you.

Chuck Norris doesnt need to know the time, what ever time he says it is, it is- hence he doesnt need a watch!

Those questions are as equally annoying as, "should i send my watch for regulating as its running fast 6 seconds a day."

I agree that some of the questions are down right crazy...but, I also get a kick out of the folks that ask a bunch of "stranger" on an internet forum which watch they should spend $10,000 on! If you have that much spare cash to spend on a watch, surely you can make that decision, no?

Not trying to flame, jut always scratch my head at that one.

Don't brush your teeth.
If you must fart do it slowly and quietly. Loud and rapidly ejected farts cause a sudden increase in atmospheric pressure and could cause the crown to unscrew itself, thus infecting all Rolexes without the gas release valve with highly destructive noxious gas.

I wanted to ask about that situation precisely, but was not sure if I could. I have the answer now, many thanks! Up to now, I always took my watch off and went to fart in another room.I was indeed concerned by the rapid change in atmospheric pressure and my Rolex does not have an escape valve like I do.

Once my Rolex stops running, do I need to purchase a new battery or just throw away the watch altogether?

When I wear my Rolex, should I always take the lift, or can I take the stairs? I like to do a bit of exercise, but I am concerned about the vibrations for my watch. Is there a difference between going up or down the stairs? Is there a maximum speed? If yes, how many steps (standard height) per minute? Thanks!

My bad!

I got confused, hexagonal for Audy P ROO, dodecahedral for Rolex Holes, regardless of model!

Can I ride my horses wearing a sub or is it correct for the horse to wear the watch during exercise?

An earth tremor or did you and Mrs Bond have an "intimate moment"?

If so, Good Drills on the factor 4!

Can the use of a mobile phone magnetize my Rolex? Should I be careful which hand I use for my mobile phone vis-à-vis the wrist I wear my Rolex on?

Is there any food, I should avoid when wearing my Rolex?

Can I wear my Rolex when I drive or only on motorways? Can bumps in the road damage it?

Can I wear my Rolex when I go to a night club or could disco dancing damage it?

Does smoke affect its accuracy?

All those questions, please help.
you are James Bond.... why should you care...
