I constantly gaze at my watch, then my wife asks "what time is it?"

...then I have to look at my watch again because I don't actually know. Haha.

It's all part of being a proper WIS

Safe travels Mike, I just look at my watch to tell time. I used to stare when I first had it but that passed

tkerrmd · 20 December 2016, 06:09 AM

that's what they are really for!!

2 years since I've owned a Rolex and I still stare at it again and again.

Wooddog44 · 20 December 2016, 07:57 AM

To the point that I'm frequently asked if late for something.... the thought "It's a Rolex thing, you wouldn't understand" pops in my head...

brownbear · 20 December 2016, 08:03 AM

me too....
......guilty as charged..

I do it quite often. Far more so with my DJ2 than my Sub, I think.

Of course the Rolex commands endless hours of staring at it since soaking in perfection takes an infinite amount of time.

I also stare at other watches. Try watching the smooth continuous movement of a Seiko Spring Drive blued second hand against a tatami dial. You'll lose yourself in a trance.

93% say they stare at their Rolex for no reason, which makes the other 7% liars.

Constantly staring, constantly taking pics. I'm pretty sure people think I'm crazy, but I am happy. Nice SD, Mike!

SingaporeSub88 · 20 December 2016, 06:20 PM

I've had mine for 2 days now and can't concentrate on anything else!

liu_watch · 21 December 2016, 02:32 AM

For those who don't, I suggest seeing a doctor (or flip the watch), because that's not normal.

I usually have to look at my watches a second time because I forget to look at the time the first time around.

Yes it's getting bad. It's more or less a compulsive disorder :(

Bigsykedaddy · 22 December 2016, 01:48 PM

I stare at it all the time (I did before I traded it, and I am sure I'll stare at the new one too lol.) I thought it was a honeymoon phase but after reading this thread I guess it never goes away huh? haha I love it!

Tudorpa · 22 December 2016, 05:20 PM

Absolutely- I find it to be relaxing. Been doing it for years when time permits.
