Am I the only one that wake up every morning, regardless of whether I have work or not, and open up the Rolex box and just stare at the watch for good 10 minutes at least appreciating the beauty and art there is in it?

P.S Unfortunately, I can't take the watch to work...well at least not now when it's brand new and my first rolex..maybe in a while. Work area isn't too safe for it I would say.

It's a true piece of art....unbelievable.

You're not the only one. I guess we all do it. That's why we paid so much for them - because they're works of art!

FTX I · 18 January 2015, 03:23 AM

Great way to start the day.

GB-man · 18 January 2015, 03:24 AM

Well can't say I do that but I often stare at my watch instead of the tv in the evening lol

Brian Page · 18 January 2015, 03:24 AM

You're not alone..

otisc · 18 January 2015, 03:34 AM

I stare, but.... 10 minutes?

tkerrmd · 18 January 2015, 03:37 AM

It's all day for me!

Eric Chan · 18 January 2015, 03:48 AM

Maybe not 10 minutes, but definitely do spend time staring at them.

Lash L · 18 January 2015, 03:53 AM

Wear it! Best thing I ever did was get over the fear. So much better when it's on your wrist and not in the box. As long as its SS, wear it always- unless your diving in mud- hard to clean. Then you can stare at it while at work- just don't get caught :)

scimps · 18 January 2015, 04:03 AM

I've had 10 different steel Rolex over the last few years... Wouldn't ever wear one at work...

I did once - nearly had a heart attack when my mate dropped an axe and it glanced off my crystal... Fortunately it lived... But I wouldn't want to experience the fear again....

T01 · 18 January 2015, 04:05 AM

When wearing one of mine I constantly catch myself looking at the watch!

That's my thought as well. Heck, I couldn't bear to be apart from such a beauty all day.

dsample1 · 18 January 2015, 04:52 AM

I can't say i relate, granted i never take my SubC off

landroverking · 18 January 2015, 05:02 AM

Wow I wouldn't have any watch I couldn't wear to work. I am of the mind set if you feel you can't wear it, you can't enjoy it to the most.

You must be a first time owner.. it is like buying your favorite car. You go into the garage every day to look at it and stare at it...kind of like drooling over your girlfriend... when the girlfriend becomes your wife, the droooling stops..need I say more?

Catyack · 18 January 2015, 05:32 AM

When you're staring at it "for a good 10 minutes at least", do you also happen to be clicking/rolling a couple steel balls in your hand?

Hahahaha very well said. And indeed you are right. It is my first Rolex and today is actually the 1 week anniversary for it

hosam112 · 18 January 2015, 05:53 AM

I can't wear it to work well I'm afraid that it will hit something by accident or someone hit it by accident or whatever. Hell, I'm afraid it gets a scratch! That's just probably cus its my first rolex and still new. Give it sometime lol

AK797 · 18 January 2015, 07:02 AM

No point spending so much money if it doesn't take your breath away a little bit. And wear it to work after 1 month, that's enough honeymoon.

DPE · 18 January 2015, 07:05 AM

yep we have all got OCD

hanybad · 18 January 2015, 07:20 AM

It's not you it's the watch bug.

FTX I · 18 January 2015, 07:23 AM

TBH in ten minutes all I care about is a car magazine and toilet paper

obviously depends on your type of work, but the ceramic bezel holds up very well and the bracelet is bound to get surface scratches on it in time.

Although i can appreciate it is only a week old and you're still in the babying mode. I checked mine every few hours for scratches for the first month. Once there were too many i stopped worrying about them.

Urosfan · 18 January 2015, 08:45 AM

We all got the sickness

Franks07 · 18 January 2015, 10:08 AM

You know you got it bad when you stare at your watch and never have any idea what time it is.

Rags · 18 January 2015, 10:13 AM

During the course of the day I would probably say that I stare at my watch a lot more than 10 minutes..

Yep I think i am in this camp. I like my watches but cant say I stare at them for periods of time, every so often I linger longer when looking at my watch to check the time. But focused staring not for me.
