Yeah I do that every night.

I dont believe you, scoth tape wouldnt be strong enough.

wear my stainless steel date just on my right wrist in sleep, and on my left wrist during day time. I am alergic to stainless steel, so when I sweat a bit, I have to keep change wrist during day time. I have a red itchy ring around my left wrist skin after any work out. Why I am putting up the alergy just to see the crown and diamond flashy? I don't know. May be it is time for a gold/platinum one.

I'm with Padi.

The strangest thing I do everyday with my Rolex is wear it.

If I go on vacation, I take it.

If I go in the pool, I take it.

If I go in the sauna, I take it.

If I go in the *shudder* ocean, I take it.

Who knew?!?!?

When I go fishing, I hooked my watch and cast it in the ocean, dropping it 299 meters to ensure it's still water tight.

Nope. Free Range / Hormone-Free

But, do you charge up the lumes before or after you cut the chicken?

Before of course...I want to see what I am doing!
