Where and how does your Rolex sleep?

When you go to sleep how does you Rolex sleep?
In itīs on small specially designed Rolex bed or just on a hard table in the kitchen? With no pillow. Picīs please itf you have.
I was thinking of getting a small dollhousebed and put my daytona in it.
Just a wondering as we treat our watches like babies.

On the night stand. No silky pillow or goose down comforter, it is just a watch, not a delicate butterfly.

I love waking up and seeing how many times I have bashed it against the side of the bed in my sleep...[marks on the wood) ...especially to test the ceramic bezels.....so far they remain unscathed....

.....

Please tell me you cannot be serious and I treat my watches as a watches nothing more nothing less. And can assure no Rolex wants any pampering whatsoever on wrist or off, only a occasional wash in plain old soap and water thats the only pampering any Rolex needs..

Rolex does not have a 72 hour power reserve, as far as I know. More like 40-48 hours.

Padi edit the Daytona Cal 4130 is the only Rolex movement with a 72 hour power reserve.

And you'd use a winder if you have several or more watches in rotation and don't want to be resetting them all the time.
