how do you place ur Rolex when not in use?

[Gusty]

Any way that doesn't scratch it. Best is in a box.

[Malfean]

dial up! back in the box

[DanielKhong]

Dial up position for me too. Does the position affect the rate of the clock?

For me i keep all my precious in an individual Daiso $2 Spec Case with face up.

[greeniewhite]

Wow..didnt even know that it would affect the timing.

Face up in my watch winder, didn't know facing up or down got impact on the watch movement.

Hang around the neck of a bottle filled with water to prevent rubbing between metals.

Wouldn't this cause to unnecessarily loosen your bracelet? I'm assuming a metal bracelet, of course.

Face up usually, if only for fear of scratching glass (I know it's meant to withstand more than an occasional push across the table, but still paranoid). Daily wearer in my bedside drawer (not on top, again for fear of accidentally knocking it off the table), the rest face up in the safe...

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.

Hmmm.....makes sense....does it matter is crown is open or wound down? :-)

Don't get too worry about it.

[donhuh]

back in the winder for few hours

[Johnvv]

eight watches in a box, 5 never saw the outside of my home after i brought it home, all faced up in the box

[jojosnr]

back in the winder to queue for the next day out.

My watches are always in the winder.
But i have noticed that time will vary from watch to watch.
I think losing or gaining time on mechanical watches is something that we all have to live with CSOC certified or not.
Honestly I think, I'm not sure, but I think that a $100 casio is more accurate than my $10,000 IWC.
We're paying the price because it mechanical, it's a piece of art, not a photograph, and art is not always accurate...
If you really are so worried about accuracy get a high end CSOC Certified Quartz, like a Aerospace, I got mine just for that reason.

Faced up for me. Thats the way it was shipped. Hehehe

Haha I like this the best
