Well i don't know if this have ever happened to anyone of you but yesterday while i was reversing my car. i was kinda daydreaming with my eyes fix on my rolex and listening to coldplay. Then i heard a big "thudd noise". i quickly got out of the car and i reverse into a park van. Pretty embarrassing. However, my Rolex was safe and sound on my risk. my car on the other hand received some scratches.

Glad that you and your watch are ok. Safety comes first

Same thing here. I can't stop looking at my watch and when people ask me what's the time it's still hard to read the time cause i am looking at the watch

We call that a Rolex Owner's Occupational Hazard (ROOH). Something that must be kept under control, as your story so clearly illustrates!!!

The wife tends to back into things while yelling at the kids. You are a better sport about backing into things with a car than I am. I seem to remember having some sort of smart a$$ answer for the wife last time she hit a gas pump.

After I got my first Rolex, I had a similar experience. That curb was doing 20, maybe even 25 mph!

We better keep this one under wraps. A lot of places are banning cell phone use while driving due to all the accidents. If they catch on to the all the accidents caused by gazing lovingly at your watch they may ban those too.

LOL - yeah Mike, I can just hear the cop now: "Sir, I guess you wonder why I stopped you?!?......Well, I could see that you were staring at your obviously-spectacular GMT there, and well...I'm going to have to write you up for the staring, as well as wearing one while driving on our beautiful, SAFE highways. Your fine will be $8,000 - payable to me right here and right now. And thank you for supporting your local Highway Patrol's Rolex Buy-As-You-Go program!"

Sure, I've run over a few people and a couple of stray cats but doesn't that Rolex look great on your wrist?

I always figured if I wrecked my car from being distracted it would be from checking out a pretty girl. It least the officer might understand that one but the watch might be a little more difficult explain.

Let's keep this one quiet..

Don't want any laws passed against wearing a Rolex while operating a motor vehicle..

(maybe the box should come with warnings)...

Once, I ate "take out" chinese food, while answering my cell phone, and admiring my watch driving back to work at lunch time.
