What’s the biggest mistake you’ve ever made while wearing your Rolex?

I haven’t had that experience, as I don’t wear a bracelet next to my watches, but I’ve often wondered about it. Especially on Instagram people post some photos of very nice watches with bracelets right next to them, or basically all over them frankly. All I can think about is that rubbing and what it will do over time, no matter how cool it looks.

This is a very interesting thread to follow. Too many lessons could be learnt.

Trusting that a geezer in Naples fl would not hit me with his car while crossing the cross walk. Scratched the crap out of my Daytona. Sold that unlucky watch lol

Crashing a Mustang GT350 racecar while wearing my Rolex. Watch was tougher than the car.

Wore it when buying a new car. I'll never know, but after the salesman's comment, I have a strong feeling I didn't get the best deal, lol.

Forgot that I had it on when I went mountain bikingast week and slammed it into a Boulder while riding single track. Thankfully it was a cold day and under my sleeve. No damage at all but a good reminder not to wear it even in Mello rides

Buying a loupe

Leaving it on my desk at work and completely forgetting about it until I woke up the next morning

Winner! If you're one who is paranoid about scratches or overly concerned about the pristine appearance of your watch(es), DO NOT - I repeat - DO NOT ever go looking at your watch through a loupe. You'll pass out.
