Playing with my DateJust

It struck me today that I have picked up a new habit. I often remove my D.J. from my wrist and just hold it in my hand. I play with the bracelet and feel the weight, the crystal etc. I do not do this on purpose but it happens during coffe breaks and when I sit in front of the PC in the office or just now in my sofa surfing at home.

Anyone else having this (bad) habit?

Playing in public can get you arrested. Enjoy anyway.

Yup!

But it can indeed be a bad habit.

Often you risk dropping the watch because you take it off for no good reason.

I've done it myself. Typically when relaxing while watching TV.

Playing with it too much can cause you to go blind.... wait, that's another story. Anyway, I know what you mean. I don't do it often at work, but I'm like Dan in that I sometimes find myself doing it while watching TV. Playing, inspecting, etc. Enjoy that DateJust

My bracelet is still a tad tight so I sometimes open the clasp on my DD and let it hang on my wrist but I don't take it off, I just let it cool off. When I close the clasp the watch is cold on my wrist.
