I have noticed that I can´t stop staring at my new Rolex GMT IIc. But the sad thing is that I don´t look at it to see the time. I still sometimes look at my Iphone clock or the clock on my computer instead of my watch.

Is there anybody else doing that? I think it is quite weird that I don´t use my 7000 dollar watch to tell the time.

Welcome! I think you have the same problem as the rest of us here.

couldn't agree more LOL

I have been wearing Rolexs for over twenty five years and I can't stop staring at mine.

Psmith · 17 May 2010, 12:16 AM

They tell the time??

Cheers

Its funny when someone sees you look at your watch, and then ask you what time it is, and you have to look down again to actually read the time.

Wrist art!! If it were about simply telling time we would all be sporting Timex!!

My problem is being distracted while my hand is at the top of the steering wheel while driving.

Whatever time it is...it's better time on a rolex

JMIND · 17 May 2010, 12:41 PM

That's how you can tell it was worth what you paid for it!

tulsaokusa · 17 May 2010, 12:52 PM

It's because it's speaking to you.

The real question is...

What is it saying??

Be careful...driving while staring....walking while staring....

I am so glad you posted this, all this time I thought I was the only one with this issue

GradyPhilpott · 17 May 2010, 01:20 PM

When I'm at home, I'm surrounded by more clocks than any normal person needs, so I don't often look at my watch.

When I'm out and about, I use my watch and never my cell phone, unless perchance I need the date, which is rare.

The left wrist for me is the easiest place to get the correct time, if I'm not at home.

normandy · 17 May 2010, 02:11 PM

I always look at my watch several times and don't know what time it is.
but then even when i know what time it is i still look at my watch

Chipmunk · 17 May 2010, 02:17 PM

My son caught me staring at my watch in church today instead of listening to the priest

Love the movement (just imagining what is going on inside to make the hands move), the history and is just looks damn good!

Singslinger · 17 May 2010, 04:38 PM
