how long can a rolex be unworn

[crazymcmichael]

title says it all,

If i was going for a long holliday for example 1 year and i took just one watch with me if i had several, how long is it ok to just ''lie'' in the safe and won't be wound or weared? How long is that oke?? How long before you are gettin problems with that?

Ah serious? I thought it was serious necesarry to wear it at least once a month !!!!! that is some great news to be honest especially when i do a new aquisition i won't take multiple watches with me on a trip.

Watches have sat idle longer than a month in dealer showrooms. Rolex knows this and still gives a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase on new watches and a suggested service interval of no sooner than 10 years from purchase. The new oil they use has excellent adhesion and longevity.

When I bought my second rolex and told them I may put my 1680 away for a while, their tech there told me to retreive it on a monthly basis and wind it to keep the parts lubricated.
