Kind of a dumb question in a way I suppose, but I've read a post or two about people wearing their Rolexes "24/7" and also someone said he hadn't taken his off in 3 weeks. Literally or figuratively speaking? That is the question. Now part 2 of my question is how long have you gone without removing your watch?

Danand · 24 March 2011, 07:55 AM

I take it off while sleeping. Too dangerous with the super case!

Grumpy Badger · 24 March 2011, 07:56 AM

Yes, I sleep with mine on.

I haven't kept track but I'm certain there will have been times I've gone over a year without taking my watch off.

MonBK · 24 March 2011, 07:57 AM

No, and I take off my shoes as well.

theibis · 24 March 2011, 07:57 AM

Nope, it gets put away before bedtime.

Explorer 2011 · 24 March 2011, 07:59 AM

yes I sleep in mine. Only time i've taken mine off is when cycling. Had a fall last year and damaged an old Tissot beater (as well as breaking my arm in two places)...Not risking that with the Rolex but literally never off other than that.

SaddleSC · 24 March 2011, 07:59 AM

Here we go again...

Rags · 24 March 2011, 08:01 AM

When I take off my DJ it's either in my watch winder or it goes back in the safe if I won't be wearing it the next day.

CashGap · 24 March 2011, 08:02 AM

I leave it on when I sleep, and I leave it on when I shower, but I take it off when I feel myself falling asleep in the shower. Too much risk doing both at once.

Art 1 · 24 March 2011, 08:05 AM

No. I have a clock radio on my night stand.

Onikage · 24 March 2011, 08:05 AM

Only once, by accident I had actually taken it off and dozed off but I awoke with it still softly in my clasp (like a small delicate baby mouse) in the foetal Position. I find it a little sharp to sleep with. I slept with my Seamaster on every night though.
Putting on a Rolex in the morning is a nice wakeup step I find ;)

redcalx · 24 March 2011, 08:14 AM

Never!

smallcandle · 24 March 2011, 08:16 AM

Never. I've yet to have an occasion of needing to know the time WHILE I'm sleeping...

MB7000 · 24 March 2011, 08:17 AM

Ive tried to sleep with it on, but it gets too uncomfortable for me, so I take mine off.

Lion · 24 March 2011, 08:17 AM

I have always slept with my Rolex on, I only take it off when I shower and when riding my bicycle while exercising!!!

HL65 · 24 March 2011, 08:21 AM

No as radium is not good to sleep with or leave on your lap.
I love this post by the way--3rd time in 2011- hot diggity dog!!
While I am here - Do you guys take your stickers off or leave them on?

MortgageGuy · 24 March 2011, 08:24 AM

Nope, I take mine off to sleep... will wear in shower/swimming and just about everything else

I used to sleep with my Rolex but my wife didn't like it very much.

Fiery · 24 March 2011, 08:25 AM

Nope, I never wear any watch while sleeping. I also take it off before I do maintenance jobs or other "heavy" manual labour to protect the watch from damages and scratches. I don't baby my watches, but I sure keep them away from hazardous situations. While I'm sleeping God knows what I do, so I wouldn't risk leaving my watch on.

wcaperformance · 24 March 2011, 08:25 AM

I love my watch too much to take it off :)

might make it easier to take a leak in the middle of the night without putting the bathroom light on if your Old Fella was glowing in the dark!

I guess it might also make it more difficult if it dropped of in your hand though!

Mine came with Colorform stickers so I can take them off and remove them as I please

errol0_7 · 24 March 2011, 08:43 AM

I dont ever look at it when I am asleep so in the safe they go!!!

I used to wear an omega seamaster chrono years ago 24/7 had it for years and never took it off, went in the sea,shower,bed,night clubs, sport and after those years it looked really bashed up and the seals went and the hands were begining to perish. Don't want that with my Rolex's so I take a lot more care now!

rolexsweep · 24 March 2011, 09:22 AM

i wear it all all day everyday, i don't have a clock or a alarm clock, so i wake up in the middle of the night and boom i see the time, surprisingly the luminescent last for a long time.

Medtech · 24 March 2011, 09:35 AM

Months...

Speed · 24 March 2011, 09:45 AM

Oh Boy. No.

BTW,
What's the average discount I can expect on a Stainless Steel watch?
Sub date vs. Sub No Date?
Can I wear a Sub with a suit?
Where is the best internet site to buy a Rolex?
Do you wear your watches loose or tight?
Is it risky to wire money to a person selling watches on the internet?

1) 30% off the street for a first time buyer. That's just for starters
2) Why do you need a date if you're on a Sub?
3) Yes, but I don't know how you would wear a ship
4) Assembledrealrolexxinchina...dot com
5) So tight that it turns my hand blue. I don't want ot to fall off you know.
6) Only if the wire between the two cans breaks.
