What makes you look at your Rolex

[steve.r]

ok, a kind of strange question.

I recently bought a new Explorer ii and I love it. Been wearing it every minute i can. I often look at it as I am at my desk or in the workshop, but what i really love (and this might sound a bit weird) but I sit next to the window in my office and the lume gets fully charged. When i get up to leave the office, in the darker corridor I love to look down at my wrist to see the hands and dots glowing brightly. It's like I am hypnotized by it.

What is your watch's best feature that fills you with the feeling of 'yeah, Rolex on my wrist' ?

For me it is the GMT hand. I love the fact that there is some utility to this watch compared to some of my others.

When I'm outside and the sun hits my green glass in a certain way it almost makes me want jump up and down with joy!

I like to look at it when I need a little pick me up as it makes me feel good.

Love looking at the perfection that is my rolex dial :)

[Im Lauf der Zeit]

The correct time.

Yes.. I set myself up for that lol

[Invictus Maneo]

I love to "lume" mine up , too! Then go in the dark and check it out for a while. My family thinks I'm nuts and they're probably right!

[knageeb]

To make sure it is still there :-)

[AK797]

I love lume too.

[watchwatcher]

Its incredible good looks and flawless manufacture.

OK, I'll put this out there-I am guilty of looking at it and still not knowing the time. There, I said it.

Case in point. Fantastic shot, Neil.

[brandrea]

That's a tough one .... The ever changing dial, the perfectly polished case, the fit and finish of the bracket and clasp, the gold rimming around the dial markers .... There's more but that's a good start

Time and/or date. In particular, for time when I need to get to a meeting and need to know how much slack if any I have, and date to sign off on some papers. The Rolexi are tools - very good tools, mind you.

Hi!

Time!, I know (mine DD2) is a good looking watch, but still, a watch it is....

Best!

When I wear my GMT, (my green hand on watch), reminds me I need to make green $$ to continue this hobby..lol :)
Peace my Rolex friends :)

When the sun is just starting to go down and there's an orangish glare coming from the sky I'm always mesmerized by the way the suns glare makes my dial look through the vintage acrylic. also watching my sweeping center seconds hand sweep around my dial repeatedly during class. And of course, the time. I love the beauty of my vintage black dial w/gold text,and gold indices with white stripes looks. I've worn it daily for almost 2 years and it still makes me smile every time I look at my wrist

[cop414]

The lume is always nice but I love to look at the glossy dial on my Sub, in the right light it looks like it's actually wet...

[jack81]

Love to look at my blnr bezel and red hand on my ym blue.

that watch is so friggin pretty!!!!!

[locutus49]

To see if it is still there after going outside. All this crime some Rolex owners are afraid of makes me ensure it is still on my wrist. So far, it is safe to wear.

Wow i thought i was the only one that did this

[GradyPhilpott]

I like the way the text looks on the dial and that makes me look real hard at the dial to enjoy that look.

The BLNR bezel is also a source of limitless fascination, because the colors are so changeable in different light or at different angles.

I also look at my watches when I want to know the time.

...then sometimes I linger admiring the watch.

[withthesword]

Did somebody say lume?

Oh yeah, almost forgot. From time to time, usually after a watch cleaning, I like to shine an LED flashlight on my watch and with my loupe gaze at the LEC! I have no idea why checking it out puts a smile on my face but it always does!

[aleeboy]

The avoid making eye contact with the leggy model sitting opposite me who has noticed that I'm wearing a Daytona.



Not serious

[landroverking]

Need to know the time. But then I have been wearing the Brand since 1978.
