Yeah, but the danger is, I find myself in front of my mirror all day admiring my Rolex, and end up missing the game of football on TV :D LOL!

Sometimes I will. For example this morning I strapped on my early 50s lord Elgin 14k on simply to admire it. I didn't even bother to wind it up. I just wanted to look at it since I haven't worn it in a good month and a half. So yes, sometimes I will.

At home or at work, I always have a watch on my arm. Can't go without one

I've been known to switch to a different watch a number of times when I'm at home doing nothing.

On a real lazy day, I'll pull out my box of watches and just play with them in front of the TV.

I always wear mine. I take it off when I go to bed but the first thing I do in the morning is put it back on.

I've been known to this as well....

Heck, I sometimes bring two/three different watches to work just to switch them around....

Yes, I do...it needs the wrist movement to keep going. Plus, I use the bezel to time how long it will take for the take-out pizza to be done...

I recently stopped wearing my watch to the gym, because I was worried about ill effects of the momentum from swinging heavy ketel bells and other weights, then going in the jacuzzi and then shower. It feels odd to get dressed without a watch on. On the other hand, I can now plunge both of my arms into the jacuzzi water and not worry about the heat affecting the gaskets of my watch.

Same here! Otherwise I often wear a watch at home.

Excellent point here...

Though I only have one Rolex in my house, and a few in the bank vault. So it's a Rolex Sub or no watch....

Ok, I do have a 100 dollar quartz watch for jogging...

I feel most of us with an elapsed time bezel use it for pizza more than diving. I use mine for all sorts of stuff on a daily basis. Just baked some cookies and used it tonight.
