yep, I wear it all the time but sometimes I do put on one of my old Omega Seamasters at night as I can't see the time on my alarm clock (as I am not wearing my spex!) and the lume is brighter on the Omega.
It wouldn't take a lot of persuasion to wear my Rolex in bed as well, but I think the few hours of lying still gives the mechanism a time to "run down" - Don't ask me about my logic - I know that Rolexes hardly need a rest!

Also, if I didn't wear my Omegas at night, I'd never wear them!

I put on my GMT as soon as I get up first thing in the morning and it stays on my wrist until I turn in at night.

Same like you man. I wear it too when in bad before I go to sleep, for that reason too. I hate must rewinding 'em every 2 days. So I wear 'em all the time before I go sleeping for sure the movement move well.

Nope, when I get home it gets wiped with a microfibre cloth, inspected for hairline scratches and goes straight back in its box.

I am with Gedanken. My TT DJ gets wiped over and put back in its box as soon as I walk in the door. I dont wear it everyday either. I am looking at buying a Sub Or Explorer for everyday use.

Uhh, Andy, I was kidding.

I hear what you're saying about the TT DJ, or TT anything else for that matter, though. I've got my SD or Tudor Chrono on my wrist all the time, but I do tend to be a bit more careful with my DJ as well. Hell, I just got it all spiffied up by the RSC and it's gotten zero wrist time since coming back.

What do you do if you find a scratch?!

I'd lose sleep!

Scratches are inevitable. I am going to lose my sleep also if i scratch my newly purchased watch but you have to learn to live with it. On the other hand scratches add character to your watch.

I know - I have the same problem with some of my guitars - I avoid buying new ones because that first ding really hurts! So I get nice "broken-in" ones so if it happens, it is not so bad. I have a pristine 1962 Telecaster Custom - not a mark - terrified of scratching it but know it's gonna happen!

Except when showering, or sleeping.
Of course the Casio comes out for household repairs, i.e., landscaping, chopping fire wood, etc.
