I have some very close friends who all own rolexes and other high end watches. I would let them wear any of my watches. God forbid something happened we all have them insured so at end of the day just a watch.

J_H · 12 October 2015, 11:27 PM

Only Rolex Addict, but he would have to let me wear his Smurf! hahaha

Desibaba · 12 October 2015, 11:59 PM

My girlfriend wore mine in starbucks for like 5 minutes while we were sitting down. It was so loose on her wrist it looked like it would fall off.

adawil2002 · 13 October 2015, 01:18 AM

Depends who it is, has to be someone in the know.

Ditto.

Koala · 13 October 2015, 09:13 AM

I'll indulge requests my friends' or girls that I'm dating to wear one at my house if they want to

HeyItsRaymond · 13 October 2015, 09:52 AM

Any Victoria Secret supermodel. But two conditions must exist. 1) We must be in bed. 2) they are only allowed to wear the Rolex and a smile.

My response "HA HA HA ... Over my deadbody kiddo!!

My mom asked to borrow my Rolex.
My response "HA HA HA ... see ya lata mama!!

In the above cases, I never gave them my Rolex, simply because I believe in the most fundamental principle -- You wanna take care of soemthing, take care of it yourself. Otherwise it is you who is reponsible for the damage to the item and have no one to blame but yourself.

So you can see, I am not too protective about my rollies

... How about you guys?

Out of those who say "it is just a watch", you will still get a heart attack when you get that phone call "honey/dad/son/bro/buddy, I dropped it on the sidewalk and it stopped ticking..what do I do now?.."

You have confused priorities.

Jkysh · 13 October 2015, 12:33 PM

My brother and parents. Both SD4k and 2254.50 left in their hands while away on numerous occasions. Not many folks outside this trifecta however

Family or one or two very close friends.

Family, friends can barrow my Sub anytime they would like. My seamaster however. That watch is for my wrist only, it has sentimental value that cannot be replaced.

After 20 years of borrowing watches from my dad and after my dad giving me my first rolex it would be pretty ridiculous to not give him access to my small collection. If my dad wants to borrow something of mine, he's got a lifetime pass!

My wife used to wear my 16610 from time to time but after I saw it left around the house too many times I put the link back in and pulled the plug on that little arrangement (the watch lending, not the marriage) ;)

gigoloaunt7 · 13 October 2015, 09:48 PM

to be honest this is quite selfish....its just a watch lad.

cburgs56 · 13 October 2015, 11:48 PM

Still waiting to get my first rolex but i would let my wife wear my panerai

Have to agree after all its just a watch nothing more, a expensive watch but just a watch.Rolex make one of the toughest watches on this planet so does not really matter who wears it.Trouble today Rolex are no longer watches but just trinkets to be worshiped and pampered out of all proportion by many today.

Oyster99 · 14 October 2015, 12:25 AM

I am currently borrowing the rolex from my uncle, and two minutes into meeting Fremstar i handed him the watch. Then he left me alone for a couple of minutes with his White Gold Day-Date 2 with the blue wave dial (its so lovely). I guess i am quite trustable and i'd trust my family + sam with 'my' rolex

I laugh, however, your comment is true... You sound like a current professional basketball player that I played AAU basketball with (Ron Artest) - Here is his current comments about the state of the NBA (National Basketball Association) - “I remember I came into the NBA in 1999. The game was a little bit more rough. The game now is for kids. It’s not really a man’s game anymore. The parents are really protective of their children. They cry to their AAU coaches. They cry to the refs. Sometimes I wish those parents would just stay home, don’t come to the game and now these same AAU kids whose parents come to the game, these kids are in the NBA. So now we have a problem. You’ve got a bunch of babies professionally around the world. It’s no longer a man’s game. It’s a baby’s game. There’s softies everywhere. Everybody’s soft. Nobody’s hard no more. So you just deal with it. You adjust and that’s it.”

If my WG DD2 fit your wrist I would have let you borrow it for a few days before I left to come back to the Americas... I am on a call and on TRF

Chat soon!

Wooddog44 · 14 October 2015, 12:35 AM

My wife but she would never wear a man's watch so I got her a Ladie's DJ of her own.
My brother and/or my two brother's in law.

I know you'd do that

but you know i love that 44MM ROO Audemars Piguet on the rubber strap right?

sparky · 14 October 2015, 02:21 AM

I would rather sell a watch and give the money than loan or give a watch. And that's not going to happen. If something happened to it......

Bakasana · 14 October 2015, 03:22 AM

If I had a wife... emphasize... a wife. I would. Girlfriend, friends... f'em.
