How Often do you wear your rolex

When I was younger, I had a tutone Datejust. I kept the watch in a safe mainly because I found it too flashy. Eventually I sold the watch, at a loss, but never spent a single cent maintaining it.

If worn regularly, one has to put aside $100 per year or $500 every five years for servicing.

Then, I bought a SS submariner with date, and used it daily. It's distinctively Rolex, and I love this watch because it serves my daily use, and I even use it to swim. I thought to myself, what the heck, why own a submariner and not allow it to touch even the water in the swimming pool. Moreover, one can use it to run or walk and keep track of the minutes using the bezel.

Worn less regularly is a Vintage 6694. It has been serviced and look brand new. I wear it more to ensure that the mechanical parts within are kept in good running order. It not an expensive watch, but i treat this old lad with respect and safely at home in a safe

I also own a Omega limited edition 5oth anniversary moon watch. I use it too but don't take for a swim because it has less depth tolerance. I like this watch because it a winding watch which I fiddle with when bored. It spends some time in the safe.

Buy for wearing, if want to keep in safe for viewing, i can do it free, just visit AD or 2nd hand watch shop.......

I wear one model a week. Why keep it in a safe?

If you've got it, flaunt it.

We wear watches, safes don't wear watches.
Watches tell us time, they don't tell safes time.

Do you wear your Rolex /do you keep it in a safe brand new?

I found this in a forum page:

I'm very excited because I just bought my first ROLEX. The explorer 1 is defintely one of the most beutiful rolex watches I've ever desired. Now I'm concerned about 1 thing: ....... but I was wondering if I could decrease its value whenever I wore it. It's never been worn, keeps its own green sticker, original boxes, warranty, etc..

So, may I wear it sometimes or should I keep it in a safe? ....

i guess low profile is good, luckily i live in a country where people dun go looking for rolex as much. as a result, you can wear and only a few people will recognise.

Yeah no choice...hahas. If I wear confirm got people recognise...

Darkangel not the only 1. Diego Maradona also wear two, submariner or some other sports model. One on each hand. He did that a couple of years ago, when he was entering Italy. At the airport, records showed that he owed hundreds of thousands dollars tax to the Italian tax dept, so both watch confiscated! hahaha.
