I was looking at watches with my boss today, and we noticed that the Bently was shaking in it's display case? Is this because of the movement inside?

That sounds strange - I've never experienced anything like that. Sure, yoiu can feel the movement spinning sometimes, but when resting in a display case there's nothing that should be able to cause the movement to spin. Any other vibrations inside or outside the shop that could cause the display to vibrate?

That's all it could be. There's nothing to do with the watch that could cause that.

Maybe one of the girls that set up the windowdisplays forgot something under that dispaly ? Something she is now missing, cheking her nightstand, cursing and swearing ? I'm sure when the battery runs out of juice it will stop vibrating...

The rest of the watches were sturdy, however they were not running, only the one that was shaking was telling time

Odd. The Bentley is a heavy watch so there's no way the movement running would cause the whole case to shake. It was probably just a slightly loose stand that the Bentley was on.

As others have said, there was probably some vibration causing the rotor to move. The others probably had their crowns pulled out - fairly common by ADs.

Of course if you were wearing a Timex, Casio or similar at the time it might have been feeling nervous :wink:

No watches on my wrist, I've parked my daily and am waiting patiently to purchase my Navitimer :)
