You´re correct. I just saw the title and then looked at the picture, how gracefully you´ve laid out a silky smooth blanket for your robust and sturdy Explorer-adventure watch, so close to the edge. If you´re not afraid of the watch dropping down on the floor, potentially damaging it more than a hairline would, why the microfiber-sheet/cloth that´s made to not produce hairlines on shiny things? Perhaps I´m overthinking this, but it looks like you´re more into avoiding hairlines than real actual damage. It just doesn´t make any sense to me.....same thing as with the watch-market.

....and then I also saw the pictures of the stands/podiums/altars.

Sorry guys!

Mine loses 2 seconds a day. If left dial up, it gains 2 or 3 seconds overnight. Perfect. The truth is I only take it off at night occasionally - I either forget or can't be bothered.

Hanky us for sound deadening so I don’t wake up my wife getting in / out of bed. I also have cork coasters for my water glass… I am a little bit obsessive tbf.

I use a watch stand with the clasp closed. If rotating, I put it back in my watch winder or watch box.

I leave all of mine in the same general position you have yours but inside a special drawer in their divided soft bins.

That only looks like that. In fact, it is an extremely soft fabric that does not leave scratches.

I usually leave it crown up and clasp open but spread out so that it doesn’t possibly fall into he caseback and so I can see the time

Flat with my 3235 based watches. Crown down with my 3135. I use the rest position to either offset deviation when worn or keep it low if hardly affected when worn.

I sleep with my watch on. Never had an issue with comfort or banging it on something inadvertently.

Leave it on the kitchen counter at night, and may or may not put it on until mid-day.

I've been wearing watches to sleep in for about 60 years and can't see any reason to change the practice. I've heard all the reasons on why not to do it but not one rings true versus the fact that no damage as ever come to a watch, people in close proximity, or things in close proximity through this practice. I don't find it uncomfortable, so there is no reason to change.

Not sure I get the “whole wear it at night”. Does Rolex have a loud audible alarm watch that I’m not aware of?
Most of us wake up to alarm clocks or smart watches. I put my watch on the table in a travel bag. If I need to know what time it is at 3 o’clock I roll over and look at the alarm clock

Usually leave it on the table and put on my Apple Watch before I go to sleep. I need the silent alarm feature on weekdays.
