this is just my personal opinion but i dont tend to do any activities with my watch on. swimming, golfing , tennis etc. im just one of those strange people.



I've found it essential to the accuracy and longevity of my watches to remove before typing, writing, or wiping the sweat off my brow.

Long hot soaks in the jacuzzi or operating a jack hammer seem quite reasonable for mechanical watch wear. I've also found removing my watch and beating it repeatedly on my desk not only relieves stress when agitated, but also keeps everything moving inside the watch, helping the normal action of the escapement and gear train as well as bolstering the lubrication.

And what do you do with your watch on those lonely nights when you're looking at pictures of newly posted navitimers on bsource.com?


Are we still talking about watches?

Do you have to work hard to be a smartass or does that come naturally? :mrgreen:

Congrats on the Navi...it looks great. I don't think that it is too large for a woman to wear, but you are the one that has to determine that. Consider getting a brown or gold croco strap for it...the dial will "pop" much more if you do.

It's a nice looking watch, today was a hectic day at work, I had to admire the watch a couple times. I like watches, watches are good. HEY, I just realized there was a watch there, yes, lovely watch.

That's ok. I've heard it before. A customer of ours ordered a very LARGE and expensive scope. When it came in we snapped a photo and sent it to him. His reply was "Is that photo an optical illusion? If you stare at it long enough a rifle scope appears".

Oddly enough things like that don't offend me... but a man calling me sweetie while telling me to calm down makes my blood boil. Go figure. lol
