Really, how long?
How many of you have taken off your Rolex for a break? How long could you go without your precious piece? I don't know if this question has been asked before, so there it is.

I rarely go w/o a watch. Maybe a day or 2. I went w/o a rolex for 29 yrs. Since I acquired my first, I've prob gone about 3-4 weeks sans rolex.

I don't wear mine to work as I'm a tile setter but as soon as I get out of the shower she's on my wrist

I do not feel dressed for work without a watch on my wrist.

Maybe a day or so if I'm doing hard dirty work outside but it's really rewarding to get one back on the wrist.

I've gone a couple of weeks, but only because I was enjoying a different brand on my wrist at the time.

Only take mine off if I'm doing something that might cause serious damage otherwise it's on 24/7.

I have rarely worn either of my Rolex watches since getting my Patek.

The most I have been able to ignore my sub or dj is about two days. I just can not leave one off long term. If I don't feel like wearing one due to comfort issues or work, it goes in my pocket.

Several weeks. I have too many other brands to get tunnel vision about one of them.

Same here! In fact, it doesn't get that much wrist time from what I see...

I take it off when at home. It goes back on the wrist when I leave the house.

I have other brands than Rolex in my collection, so It can be almost a month sometimes before I wear one of my rolexes again...

Worn daily, only taken off at bed time. The only exception would be when I wear a knock around watch for a few hours.

I sometimes go a day or two without wearing my Sub and have found that once I put it back on, I appreciate it even more! That being said, 2 days is as long as I want to go without!

I wear one of mine almost every day. There are days where I am doing an industrial shoot and I'll wear a cheap digital watch. That way if it gets beat up or scratched, I don't really care.

I've worn my sub every day for over two and a half years, it only comes off when I go to sleep. Since I've owned it its never stopped running

Keep it on nearly all the time, apart from when doing something particularly risky to it, .e.g car work or similar

Depends. If I'm wearing a PP or AP, then I can go weeks without missing Rolex.

I rotate primarily between my top four...a vintage omega seamaster, a Prometheus manta ray, a Tudor Black Bay and my trusty Sea Dweller :D I've have several other watches that I occasionally rotate in, vintage Bucherer, Citizen Promaster Carbon and some others...
