How many of you wear your watches when visiting TRF?

Just curious about this since I've found myself putting one one everytime I log on. My girl thinks it's funny but it kinda made me wonder how many of us put a watch on just for the purpose of visiting TRF. I have noticed that i like to inspect my watches and make comparisons while reading threads and posts regarding them.

I only remove my watch when I go to bed which means I always have it on when I'm logged in!

I tend to remove it when I get home since I tend tinker with mycars alot. Then I'll sit and watch TV. Then I'll eat dinner, and when I sit down to log on I somehow feel the need to wear my watch. I just think that it's only appropriate i guess.

Dalton, I was holding out hope that at least one member would not acquire the Rolex disorder. From your post it seems another one has bitten the dust.

I wear a watch while home and only take it off for sleeping, showering, and anytime damage is likely to happen. I will admit to changing to the Rolex brand when visiting TRF though.

Wow! Lots of hardcore Rollie wearers. It's the morning here in LA and the first thing I went for is one of my watches, then I logged on to TRF. I'm a very sick individual, since I should've made breakfast instead.

I'm usually wearing my watch, but sometimes I log in to TRF and realize I don't have it on which prompts me to go put it on!

I wear them 24/7. It seems like more people damage their watches by dropping them than any other reason. That happens when you take it off too much!
