Rolex

I do a lot of heavy lifting, and I’ve recently started to notice what seems like gradual bracelet stretch—likely from wrist flexing and strong gripping over time. I never saw this with my Deepsea, but I’m beginning to notice it on my 2022 Daytona. Has any...  

Seems both risky and unnecessary. Just saying.

I respectfully believe that all sports Rolex models are designed for most casual sports. I’ve worn my Deepsea, GMT2, and even my AP ROO for weightlifting. Ironically, I don’t wear them for golf or squash (although I’m right-handed) because of the jarring ... 

Are they really good for that? Not really. At least not for me.

prevent future stretch, don't wear it at the gym. I've never been in a gym that didn't have a clock on the wall, many of them.

I used to take off my watch at the gym decades ago. Today gyms are like day care, everything is covered in rubber or epoxy, my kitchen is more dangerous. I actually think the Daytona is a perfect gym watch, ez link for wrist expansion, slim so it's less l...
