Forget to check the time?

You ever look down at your Rolex to check the time, only to be distracted by its beauty? Then moments later you realize you forgot to check the time! So you look down again and the cycle starts over again…
Happens every time to me. I've had the watch for about a week now.
Will I get over this?

Most people don't register the time after they've looked at their watch.
Try it. Wait until you see some one look at their watch, then ask them what time it is. They will most likely look back as they don't recall the time.

Me I just look at it to admire it. I've put one on in the morning, never noticed it wasn't wound until later in the day

TRUE!! I have observed that too!

It happens to me many times. Just stare at my watch without noticing the actual time.

But I Know that my watches are for telling time!

Still basking in the glow of my first rolex and can't stop looking at it - colleagues keep
asking if I'm late for something!
