how do you place ur Rolex when not in use?

[shou.biao.kuang]

Yap... placing the watch in different position will affect the timing differently... I heard placing dial up will gain it a few sec in a week, and dial down will lose it some sec in a week... Any one care to try and tell us your experience?

In its box in my safe.

I wrap my rolex with rolex cloth and put it dial up.
the same way when you see the ladies at rolex centre wrap our watch when you send it for servicing.

Saw this from a website:

For the first 1 hr, I place it face up. 2-5 hr, I place it on the left side. 5th to 10th hour onwards, I place it on the right.

after that, I wear it on my wrist for 8 hours whereby I alternate between dial up, dial left dial right and rarely dial down and the cycle repeats. Only bad thing is, I hardly get any sleep

^^Like that must hire a helper to monitor ur Rolex. LOL

Or you can choose to bring your Rolex to my place. I monitor for you for free. =P

I always like my watch to be rested on the crown. I feel the crown will help to prevent unnecessary scratches.

I heard from a watch techician that resting watch on the crown will damage the mechanism directly. Its not advisable to do so.cos sometimes without knowing it,if we put the watch on any hard surface too hard,if the impact hits the crown too heavily, it will affect the movt cos the crown is directly link to the movt.

This has been asked and answered before and you can do a search on my thread. I keep mine face up. I guess some bros here maybe a little out of the element liao hahahahahaha Yes unless yr one of those who enthusiasts else who care's of it accuracy to the second?

[sportee]

i place mine dial up inside my watch boxes... but honestly, if accuracy is what watch enthusiasts want then it would make better sense to get a Quatz movement right... that few seconds in my opinion is negligible...

If u wear the watch, it will be classified under hanging. Which in term is another position. When checking for watch accuracy, use a Chronoscope, n it will tell u how accurate ur watch is at 6 different position. Go ask a real rolex technician, he will be able to explain to u...

ya, agree. At diff position, the watch experience +? sec. Hope it helps.

[newbie09]

Doesn't make sense to me that the position will affect the accuracy of the watch leh.

Cos when the watch is on your wrist (and assuming you wear it everyday), it goes through different positions, and maybe have more time at certain position than the other positions depending on what job you do...

Please dont make life so difficult, dont be a slave to your watch, just buy, wear and enjoy it.

Frankly, i dont even care if it is a few second +- out. Maybe i am not a WIS. Haa............
