I leave mine in a jar of rubbing alcohol so the rubber seals can be cleaned at night while I sleep...

Anyways, I heard most Rolex actually prefers to have unicorn foreskin as their blankie, makes them sleep like a baby. I'll start looking for one if I ever get Platona, she is something else.

Myself have had a specially made Rolex bed made from the finest materials known to man.Its lined with the finest silk and specially padded with the finest softest Pashmina as not to scratch the delicate 904L S.steel.And it has a built in winder to gently rock my Rolex watches to sleep and keep its heart ticking at a constant 28800BPH. Plus the added feature of thermostatically heat humidity and air conditioned controlled to the COSC standard.Its fully Programmed to lull my Rolex to sleep when off my wrist, with soothing ticking and whale sounds to help it drift into a place of peace and Rolex tranquility.

Afraid the Rolex bed is at the moment a very secret proto type but will be taking orders soon once I have it it full production price expected to be $300 -$500 owing to winder expense as these winders are special COSC certified motor ones..

But in the real world a Rolex is just a watch and does not care how the watch is left to rest off wrist flat,downside up, crown up or downsideup while off the wrist or the need for a special resting cloth.And in different resting positions perhaps a difference of one or two seconds at most out of 86400 in a day life's to short to worry about resting positions,resting cloths, or special boxes .But the most important thing is when you wake up and you can see your watch is still ticking that shows you are still alive and well to enjoy another day of wearing your Rolex watch that's far more important I can assure you.

Today they should not be called a Rolex watch,but a pampered watch, myself just wonder why Rolex have made one of the toughest mechanical watches on the planet today as today they sure do get a extremely over pampered life.

I have a member of my staff who wears one of my watches on each arm and walks around the estate to ensure I have a choice of two fully wound watches in the morning.



Ha! No, I either wear it or it goes in my watch box in the safe. I always wear a watch throught he night though..

If I have been wearing it all day then I eschew the waiting for it to go to sleep bit as I do need to get a few minutes myself.

Mine goes on a microfiber towel on the dresser... right next to my wife's. We did keep them on the night stand until our 1yr old came walking into the living room with hers one morning.

How do I put my watch to bed ?

I am a cruel bugger, my watch stays on my wrist 24/7 and it never gets to rest.

However I am not a merciless man and on the last Saturday of every month, I places it on top of one of my other Rolex with its winder pulled out so it can have a little bit of fun and games or as we say in England, a bit of the other.

To be honest, I do have a motive, I am hoping for a little Rolex to pop out in nine months time and I will expect it to be within the normal time lines of -4 secs ? / + 6 secs.

Regards

Mick

For the most part I wear my watches 24/7 - sleeping, shower, swimming, washing dishes, washing cars, washing dogs, painting, yard work, etc.. The watch almost exclusively on my wrist is my D series Pepsi GMT. When I do put it up for a day or two I clean it, wipe it dry, and put it on a winder. My husband wore a submariner 24/7 for 10 years while he was in the Navy. He never took it off. I know some men wear their watches all the time but I might be only one of a very few women to do so.

Cheers, Sarah

The problem with that approach is you will end up with a little Rolex and be forever accused of wearing a girl's watch.
