How Often Do You Wear Yours?

Daily Worn here!

356 speedster · 28 October 2008, 01:27 PM

I have had mine for 2 weeks now and it has been on my wrist since then.
I even wear it when I go to bed at night. It will NOT come off some time soon.

kybanker · 28 October 2008, 01:28 PM

Change mine up depending on what I'm wearing or what I'm doing, but always have one of mine on daily.

Giants Fan · 28 October 2008, 01:53 PM

I go through phases. I just started wearing my YM after 3 or 4 months (!) I am thinking about flipping it for a larger sized watch (Rolex of course).

carbon6 · 28 October 2008, 01:57 PM

Daily. A Rolex is like a cell phone. One on the wrist and one on the hip. Can't go anywhere without it.

jbjenkins · 28 October 2008, 01:59 PM

I don't want to start a war, but it's a watch and it's well made (i.e. rugged) - i'm not worried about banging it/them up a bit. That's what the 5-year service is for. I alternate between a GMT II and a Sub-date depending upon my mood, but I wear one or the other every day.

Is that a Volkswagen Golf or Polo you're leaning on there??

sea-dweller · 28 October 2008, 02:22 PM

I have several, so I keep usually 3-4 in a weekly 'rotation'. Currently, my rotation is my Sub Date, Explorer 1 and DJ. I have the TT Sub, GMT II, ND Sub and SD in my safe. I change the rotation about every 2-3 weeks, or whenever my mood stirkes.

dcmachead · 28 October 2008, 02:34 PM

It's refreshing to see that Rolex owners tend to wear their watches daily.

GradyPhilpott · 28 October 2008, 03:10 PM

I may wear another watch on any given day, but I always wear the Rolex at home.

Mostly though, since I bought it about a month ago, I wear it almost everywhere I go.

On a late night trip to the grocery store, I might wear an Invicta.

When I'm with friends who presented me with a Citizen, I might wear that one.

If I'm doing something that might destroy a watch, I'll definitely wear the G-Shock.

But, on any given day, so far, I've always worn the Rolex for most of every single day since I got it.

One more thing, I never discuss the watch with anyone.

Today, I was at my favorite haunt and one of the waitresses was wearing a fake Rolex. She asked how to tell a fake from a real Rolex. This piece was so bad that it was easy for even a neophyte like me, but I never lifted my cuff to show her, or one of my friends who was listening, the comparisons between the exquisite craftsmanship of the real thing compared to the ham-fisted construction of the fake.

Simmy69 · 28 October 2008, 03:15 PM

Why would I take it off???

The_Scroop · 28 October 2008, 03:20 PM

every day! I love it!

Yes,it is my brother's VW Golf (Rabbit for the us market). 2.5 5cylinder inline. Great car.

DanP · 28 October 2008, 06:09 PM

Obsessive every day for me. Thanks :)

cjp2k · 28 October 2008, 07:35 PM

Every day since getting it, feel bad my Omega is sat lonely in its box though!

Although the Rolex will be making way for the omega on Friday when I am off to see the new bond movie!

Quicksilver · 28 October 2008, 07:54 PM

Every day - but not so much at the weekend if I am only knocking around the house. It comes of when I go to bed.

The GMT Master · 28 October 2008, 08:37 PM

Every day when I'm back at home, where, unfortunately, it stays whilst I'm at uni. A skeletonised Rotary is my daily wearer

bwalkerVintage · 28 October 2008, 10:33 PM

Never lose it if it is always on your wrist.

Hi, what do you mean by 5-year service? Are you talking about the RSC warranty? Pardon my ignorance

Brunotheboxer · 28 October 2008, 10:50 PM

only time i dont wear it is when sleeping.

Chris B · 28 October 2008, 11:39 PM

Only take it off to shower & that's cos a don't trust myself not to remove & give it clean, almost dropped my Sub doing that once with slippery soapy fingers!!!!

TimeOnHand · 28 October 2008, 11:42 PM

I only take mine off to rotate the others in...

Widows Son · 28 October 2008, 11:53 PM

I'm afraid I was one of the couple times a week crowd. As much as I like my Rolex(s) I have alot of other watches too. I have a feeling that alot of you guys can wear them at work, that would be difficult for me. There goes a big chunk of the day. For casual dress I could wear my AK, or a Speedmaster Pro, or a Breitling. With suits I can wear my TT Date, or one of my vintage Hamiltons. With a Tux I will wear only one of my vintage Bulovas on a black strap.

Randy Marsh · 29 October 2008, 12:15 AM

I use it so rarely,I even forget I own it. What a shame !!

SLS · 29 October 2008, 12:19 AM

rolexgiants · 29 October 2008, 12:38 AM

only had a rolex for 12 days.... so it hasnt left my wrist yet!!!!!!

James T · 29 October 2008, 12:39 AM

i am a daily watch wearer...but not necessarily the same watch...

LuvMyRolex · 29 October 2008, 12:40 AM

I rotate according to my mood. Sometimes my SD is on my wrist for weeks because it goes well with a suit as well as with casual clothes, and sometimes after giving it a good clean I like to keep it in my display box and look at it through the glass. But it's ALWAYS such a pleasure to strap it on after some time off the wrist.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

A complete cleaning, oiling and adjustment (COA Service) is recommended by Rolex at about 5 to 7 years...

Most folks send theirs to the RSC, but it has nothing to do with the 2 year warranty..
