How to store your gold Rolex

**Foxy100** · 16th October 2011, 22:49

Was at a friend's parent's house the other night, spotted his dad's gold Date on the dresser

To think I wasted all that money on a watch box...

Any chance of getting his address so that I can nip round and give him some advice ? :D

**LeonW** · 16th October 2011, 22:51

Unbelievable :shock: , was he not worried he might break the crystal / glass!?

thats my type of guy :lol:

Its his watch and if thats how he chooses to keep it then who are we to judge?

At the end of the day its just a watch.

**halfscrew** · 17th October 2011, 00:24

Like the man's style. It is supposed to be robust so why not assume that to be the case. Have to confess though I don't think I could do that to it.

**davestrong** · 17th October 2011, 10:21

Nice looking dresser!

**Bluetinfloor** · 17th October 2011, 10:53

From the type of bracelet it's survived 50 odd years already - wouldn't worry :)

I find myself reluctantly sympathising with this point of view! I don't agree with babying watches. (Though this is probably taking it a bit far)

**tixntox** · 17th October 2011, 11:27

Respect! :lol: Or lack of it! :roll:

**cmcm3** · 17th October 2011, 13:48

I am not a fan of that.

**Concub1ne** · 17th October 2011, 15:03

I kinda like it. Then again I like the idea of off roading in a rolls.

**EdRonax** · 17th October 2011, 18:52

Different strokes etc.

**Lauting** · 17th October 2011, 19:16

Each to there own, I personally wouldn't store my watch like that.

Funny you say that...

**Karolewskiej** · 17th October 2011, 21:12

i keep all my watches in watch box

something like that is impossible for me

**Theseus** · 17th October 2011, 21:23

This should have been the norm. Thankfully, as the watches in the SC testify, people take way too much care of them.

On another note, I have seen some pretty roughed up Rolex wathces, return from service looking like new.

**verv** · 17th October 2011, 21:48

I wouldn't store a watch like that.
Then again, I wouldn't take sly pictures of other people's watches on their dressers either. :D

Sly?! Do you think a chap who stores his watch like that would care about me taking a picture of it?

**verv** · 17th October 2011, 22:52

My apologies. I had assumed that it was a covert photo rather than a permission granted one :)

Guys choice and nice to see somebody who is not a "watch tart" i personally wear my Rolex watches and the only reason i would not do this to them is its stupid to cause damage unnescessarily

**TheMaestro** · 18th October 2011, 00:34

A watch like that would be on my wrist 24/7, therefore no storeing problem.

**Josh B** · 18th October 2011, 02:13

It's a watch at the end of the day, not a blooming faberge egg. So wear it, use it and enjoy it. What's the kerfuffle about?

Of course and even storing like that is not going to damage it is it?

No it won't. Unless the thought of the odd scratch fills you with dread in which case I suggest the problem is you!

**Foxy100** · 18th October 2011, 09:26

I have no idea if he always keeps it like this, it could just be running fast...

**Rano85** · 18th October 2011, 09:34

I get the coolness factor that arises from a certain nonchalance when handling extremely expensive items.

However, the obsessive compulsive in me (the one that grabs a coaster and slides it under everyone's drink in order to protect that 20 quid IKEA coffee table) wants to put his hand through the screen and at least turn the thing the right way up!!!!!
