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.

It was supposed to be serious. That's the heartbreaking part!

It is indeed one perfect for hijacking, my friend!
