Does anyone just wear their watch?
It has been a month that I have not taken my watch off my wrist to clean or buff out the scratches. I appreciate checking the time and it being very accurate. Does anyone here just wear ther watch without cleaning and polishing and don't care how dirty or how many scratches get on there watch?

I've worn mine since July 31, but I must confess I do take it of (approximately 30 sec. a day) to dry it (and my wrist) after showering.

Most of the time, I don't clean it except for the crystal when it is really smudged up. However, the watch is still on the wrist when the crystal is wiped.

I wear all my watches. They get a good rub down from my shirt tail before i go to bed. A good wash about once a month for the ones I wear more than others.

That is pretty much what I have been doing with my TT GMT II the last two weeks.

Nope, I like a clean wrist. And a clean watch.

Nope. I wash and clean and polish my Rolexes each and every time I put one on.

I don't baby any of my watches... But I do take care of them....just like I would any expensive tool or piece of precision machinery. Every so often I will stand at the sink and wash mine, and scrub them a bit with a nylon brush... It only makes good sense. |

A clean Rolex is a happy Rolex

I don't really clean, polish, and certainly not buff my watches. Just wipe off the crystals when they get smudged.
