Am I crazy or does any one else wipe their watch before putting it up for the night, every night, that's unless of course you wear it to bed. Seems I might be a little obsesive. But then I did get the Rolex Crown tattooed on my arm.

DarkHorse · 31 January 2010, 02:29 PM

I wipe them down after being worn for the day and sometimes I polish them up before I put them on in the morning. I think it's pretty normal - some people do the same with their cars :)

I'm more of a morning guy myself...so no, you're not the only one!

Safetrends · 31 January 2010, 02:30 PM

I hear JJ slobbers all over his Rolex watches, in bed, next to his favorite sheep.

ParisDakarBmw · 31 January 2010, 02:34 PM

I wipe mine several times a day. My little girl wipes animal cracker slime on the watch, and cell phone constantly!

It's nice to know that there are others out there sharing the obsession..

997Opus · 31 January 2010, 02:50 PM

Wash my watch every night. Part of the nightly ritual.

LMAO!

Bon Temps · 31 January 2010, 02:59 PM

I do it too. My wife looks at me like i'm a freak when I do.

chester1 · 31 January 2010, 03:01 PM

The Rolex and the iPhone are the 2nd and 3rd most wiped things daily on my list

a quick lick of the crystal, wipe w/ t-shirt....good to go!

carlhaluss · 31 January 2010, 05:12 PM

Yep, you are the only one!

Really, I do that morning, noon and night and sometimes in between. Every day the Milgauss gets worn, it gets a bath with soapy water,and a good rinse and wiped dry with a clean towel. In between, either a polishing cloth or my shirt tail. I don't mind some scratches, just a normal sign of wear, but finger prints or other bits of grime, I cannot tolerate.
Don't feel alone!
Cheers,
Carl

Gerardus · 31 January 2010, 06:21 PM

I do not do that.

greenkawasaki · 31 January 2010, 06:42 PM

I can't fall asleep without doing the same. You're not alone.

Jocke · 31 January 2010, 06:45 PM

JJ do the same a but ha start the day with another wipe before he put it on.

Psmith · 31 January 2010, 06:51 PM

Crazy... but understandable...

Cheers

Isn't that what those little brushes in the bathroom are for?

padi56 · 31 January 2010, 09:23 PM

Rolex watches sure get a very pampered life today,I just wonder why they
make them from such tough materials.

HL65 · 31 January 2010, 10:15 PM

In the morning before I put on I wipe it down.

Rscmaine · 31 January 2010, 10:27 PM

After bath time, I read mine a nice bedtime story (nothing scary mind you). My Rolex is always trying to climb into bed with me...you know how ten year olds are...but I have finally convinced it that it getting to be too old for that sort of thing.

I tuck it in and leave a tiny nite lite on in the hallway so it won't be scared.

They grow up so fast.
