Your Favorite Nighttime Rolex?

What is your favorite Rolex to wear to keep you company during the nights when you are unable to go to sleep?

I don’t wear my watch to bed and I’d hate to get to the point where I need my watch to keep me company when I can’t fall asleep

Same as the one I use during the day. Lume is not great so it does not really matter as I can not see my watch anyway...

I don't wear my watch to bed anymore after giving someone a bruise and a knot on the head a few years ago when I turned over in my sleep .. lol

But anyway, I don't stay in my bed when I can't sleep so I put my watch back on because its better to wear it and keep it wound (my flawed logic .. lol) .. And I also have my laptop and TV to keep me company. So I put on a movie, chat it up on TRF all night

There are other ways to make yourself sleepy...but the extra weight of the watch on your wrist would just slow you down.

If your talking about jogging, I couldn't do it at any hour let alone this hour. I'd fall over before I reached the gate I don't know if my watch would slow me down .. I've never tried it.

It would be worse if you had a OQ .. My friend and I were traveling together a few years ago, and slept in the same hotel room .. I could hear his OQ ticking from the other side of the room on the nightstand next to my friend's bed

It's a new favourite Rolex toy called Slapping You Silly unpredictable alarm clock with a snooze button attached to the wall of every room in your house. Basically you'll be so deprived of sleep everynight that you'll be literally asking God if it's possible to trade in one of your Rolex watches for some quality sleep time

Interesting that you brought this up. I struggle to sleep and often I’ll get up outta bed and walk over and put this on. Love the OP 39 at night.

I never take off my Rolex Sub 116610, only to bathe, I wake up a lot at night and I like to check the time, and the Rolex chromalight lasts all night without problems.

Hahaha! Love this.

Reminds me of my children jumping on the bed and waking me up on a Sunday morning!
Daddy, Daddy......wake up.....wake up! We want to play.

Rolex music.

Very, occasionally notice the soft, ping,ping,ping as my GMT movement goes through its resonance phases. Only notice this when its parked on the bedside table. A quietly comforting sound. It's a 'C Flat' I think.
