Am I the only one that.....
Seriously, I never take my Rolex off.
I have a DSSD, it does have a tiny chip and thousands of scratches (that make none noticeable). I swim with it, go to gym, jetski, sleep you name it.. On occasion, while lying in the bath, I will give it a good wash but besides that it has been on my wrist for a few years now. When I must take it off (to set the date) I feel naked.. How abnormal am I? |

I wouldn't call you abnormal because lots of folks here are the same way. Me, I take my watch off every night and when I do any physical activity. I just don't like wearing a watch all the time. There are time, such as playing golf, when a watch just doesn't feel right on my wrist.

I do not wear a watch when I do not need to know the time, others may feel differently

yip, I had that problem, but overcame it when I noticed how much the caddies were stealing cash out my bag, I thought a watch would be at risk so now play happily with a watch on. (That was one of the few times I took my watch off)..and yes cadies are cheap to pay where I come from..

i take it off only in the shower and at my desk. i don't like the feel of it on my computer. but everything else is fair game.

Sounds perfectly normal to me!
The only time mine comes off is when another one goes on.

I take my Rolex(es) off all the time, mainly to shower or to rotate to another watch. But I have a watch on all the time unless I'm in the shower.

I've had my Breitling for 14 years (in a couple of weeks time) and in all that time it's been off my wrist for 3 weeks which was when Breitling had it for a service.
Due another soon Actually, on a different tack, I noticed Vanessa CW21's comment in an older thread about the extra wear playing golf with a watch on can cause (which she terms as "abuse"). Food for thought. Post 181 below http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...service&page=7 |

Other than sleeping, it's always on my wrist.

Mine comes off for sleep and any mechanical / home improvement work, but the latter is for safely reasons as well.
I've started riding my bike into the office a few days a week and I stick my DJ into a padded pocket in my backpack just in case I take a spill, but it goes right back on my wrist when I hit my destination (and stays on when I go into the shower when I get home)...

After my daily morning shower I start wearing my watches and when I go to bed I take them off for the night.
In some cases I change my good watches for a beater when working on my hobby cars or stuff like that.

Mine only comes off for strap/bracelet changes and occasionally I take it off to look at the watch when I'm bored.

I never even imagined people would wear a watch in bed.

It's on all the time. I have bad eyes so can't see the clock next to my bed without trying real hard to focus. Much easier to wear the watch when I wake up and wonder what time it is.

Sounds great to me. You're a guy who likes his watch and enjoys wearing it.
You are getting the most for your $$$$. Enjoy it and wear it always in good health. |
