When you know you are being photographed, do you intentionally expose your Rolex?
I'll be the first to admit to this. Whether I'm taking a selfie or group photo, I always (subtly) ensure my Rolex is exposed and fully visible in the photo. After the photograph is taken (digitally), I ALWAYS zoom in the photo and admire my Rolex's appearance on my wrist.

Haha opposite for me... I can remember a couple instances where I consciously knew my watch was out and I’ve tried to fix my cuff... can’t remember pulling it back for a pic though whatever works for you though

I want my pictures to look as natural as possible. If it’s out it’s out. If it’s in it’s in. The Rolex gods decide...

I do not. But I don't think there's anything wrong if someone wanted to either. Growing up I used to know some guys that would flex hard while trying to maintain a nonchalant face when taking a photo. Thought it was absurd but they get a kick out of it so whatever. They probably think I was crazy too for blowing my money on cars rather than on gym memberships and protein shakes.

Was I aware that my watch was showing? Definitely. Did I do it on purpose? Now, that's questionable.
Picture was from my wedding on 8/8/2018 [IMG][/IMG] |

"Expose yourself and not your watch" is what my grandpappy used to never say.

If someone tries to photograph me I slap the camera out of their hand and stomp it to smithereens.
I'm not going to let anyone try to steal my soul. Just because cameras are digital now and it gets vacuumed out in small pixelated bits instead of one large go onto chemical film makes no difference. |

Well I had to read it! And no. It is what it is. Visible or not. No fiddling with it or admiring it later. 🤪
