Hi guys,

So we all love our Rolex watches, but we do find some features that are totally useless to us and that we NEVER use.

For example....

1. The extension links on my Subs. Never use them.....and a pain in the butt to open up whenever I need to wash the watches!!

2. The rotating bezel - looks good, but never use it!!

So how about you??

Cheers - JJ

Well mine isn't exactly the watch itself, it's the pesky cushion that comes in the box. I've read somewhere? that it can stretch and ruin my bracelet!

The depth rating.

If you wrap your watch with the clasp closed around that cushion, it could unnecessarily stretch the bracelet, but ONLY if it's too tight.

So just take off the outer "C" shaped thingy and wrap the watch arond the soft inner core. No problems.

True, but then that would apply to 99.999999999% of us Rolex users. Not really a nuisance.

Those stick thingys that move around, they distract me from the nice Meteorite dial.

When's the next Daytona owner going to chime in with....."those useless Chrono functions"?

Welshwatchman · 26 July 2009, 06:51 AM

For me, the date function is a bit of an over complication.

I can remember which date it is all day long without having to check my wrist.

Yes, but could you live without the Cyclops, Paul??

pz93c · 26 July 2009, 06:55 AM

Don't have one.

It'll give me the time and date while looking great doing it.

Everything I want and nothing I don't.

Thanks..... But if any cushion ever stretchs my bracelet I'll take it straight back to the AD throw it across the counter and go buy a Timex.

One question: If you need to store your Rolex, why use that cushion? Why not just place it in some safe place inside a soft pouch?

When you need to store your baldy head, why use a silly Rolex cap?

That cushion is not for your watch, it's for your Barbie doll.

Both that options you can pull off the watch and store at your pesky cushion.

You seem to be in quite a jolly mood today, Jocke!!

Finley · 26 July 2009, 07:27 AM

Wait...so we're NOT supposed to sleep on the cushion?

Goodwatch · 26 July 2009, 07:28 AM

JJ, this means only one thing: you need an Explorer! It is void of all the superfluous functions you mentioned, a Rolex with tons of history and it looks great on a carbon strap so you can mix and match

Harvey58 · 26 July 2009, 08:04 AM

I like everythin about my Rolex, the only thing that bugs me a little is the date is not easy to see from all angles due to the cyclops!!!

sirjohnbrian · 26 July 2009, 08:09 AM

The price.

haakon59 · 26 July 2009, 08:54 AM

I use the turning bezel all the time. But I can't say I am a big fan of the cyclops though.

Surely the anit-magnetic properties of the Milgaus have got to be the most unused yet overrated Rolex feature
