Is There a Right Way to Wear Your Rolex

A Rolex is not just any watch, it is a status symbol, a prestige item; a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. If you are lucky enough to own one, you will want to make sure that you get the most out of it, why might have led you to wonder whether there is a right way to wear a Rolex.

The short answer is, yes, there absolutely is a right way to wear those beautiful Rolex watches for sale right now, but let’s look at the issue in more detail with a few basic guidelines for wearing your watch ‘right.’

On the opposite side

Traditionally watches are worn on the opposite side to your dominant hand, this makes it easier to wind them and feels more natural for most people. But if you prefer to have your watch on your dominant side, there is no real reason why you should not although you will probably get people thinking you’re a leftie or a righty when you aren’t!

Properly positioned

When wearing a Rolex, you are likely to find it more comfortable than the average watch. That being said, placement of the watch on your arm can make it more or less comfortable for you so you should absolutely wear your watch where it feels best for you.

Many people think you should wear your watch on your wrist, but this can actually get pretty uncomfortable due to the bones in your wrist jutting out and chaffing. It’s actually much better to wear your Rolex on the lower portion of the forearm as close to the wrist as possible without being actually on the wrist itself.

Snug to the skin

Something else you will need to bear in mind is that you don’t want your Rolex to be too loose-fitting. As you will know, Rolex watches for sales are not exactly cheap. So it would be awful if your watch was to fall from your arm and become lost. Not only that, but a Rolex that is too loose will slide around and get in the way of what you are doing, so you want to ensure that you have a snug fit, even if that means taking out a link or two.

Of course, you don’t want your Rolex to be too tight either. If it’s too tight it will dig in, cut off your circulation and make you feel comfortable, which is the exact opposite of what a prestige watch is supposed to do! 

If your watch has a leather or fabric strap that is not easily altered, you can buy rubber straps that will fit on your watch and help it to fit more snuggly to you.

Subtly

Your Rolex is really special so you might want to show it off, but ideally, it should be an accessory that enhances your outfit, rather than the main event. So, wear it with pride, but put pride in the whole of your appearance, not just the watch!

No matter how you wear your Rolex, make sure you enjoy it because if one thing’s true, it’s that Rolexes are made to be enjoyed.
