Sleeping with your Rolex
how many of you guys actually end up sleeping with your rolex on at night? and if not then how many of you guys have the mechanical rotating device to keep the movement going.

Don't wear it during sleep in fear of clasp opening and me rolling on it all night.

Apart from the odd occasion when I wear one of my other watches I have mine on 24/7 even in the shower, pool or wherever.

If your tossing and turning and kicking that much at night while you sleep, enough to have the clasp come off, you got a sleep problem!!! LOL LOL |

Having such a weigh on my wrist would bother me. I would need a counterweight on the other wrist.

I wear mine frequently at night. I used to operate under an urban myth that when you slept the flexion and extension of the wrists would cause bracelet stretch. I feel confident after hearing the comments of the people on this list that such does not happen. One could, I suppose, roll over on your wrist and sleep on the watch when the bracelet was low on the hand and possibly stretch it, but I have pretty much abandoned the worries and sleep with the Roller Babies.

Ok, who's going to be the first with the sheep reference! How about,"I love ewe dear!" Seriously, I don't sleep with mine on. In fact, I'll take mine off early in the evening most times because looking at my watch distracts me from any TV program I might be watching. I do use a winder though, on my spare.

One on the bedside table and two on the winder. I take it off so I don't accidentally end up clocking the missus with the SD in the middle of the night.

I sleep with mine and wear it in the shower. I only take it off to work on the car or when I am with my gf.

Just hope you don't bang your bed-mate with your SD while you sleep. That thing is thick and heavy - it could hurt. It could hurt you too when your mate hits you back with the alarm clock or the lamp. LOL

I never sleep with it, One of the first nights I had it I did leave it on but when I woke up I hit the headboard by accident and I scratched the bracelet, I said that wont be happening again! I also take it off while showering
BUT! If I am out of town it does not leave my wrist even to shower! (paranoid) |

24/7 for me. Work out run, even ride my crotch rocket with in on but I do not motocross with it, It would beat my arm to death, and It would prolly wind up so tight it would run like a stop watch. :-0

Same here. But since I haven't been camping in about 20 years (long before I got my first Rollie), that means I always take mine off at night. I keep the other 8 that I'm not wearing on winders.

I usually take my watch off the moment I get home.
