Not anymore! Most times he's telling me to "do this" or "do that" and nearly everytime I was ending up in the slammer!

You should have listened to "do this" and stayed away from "do that".

I do, but he's always saying the same crap over and over again. I told the wifey about this matter and she told me to cut the lawn. They get along just swell

I love to listen to all my mechanical watches, the ticking is very theraputic.
I also have an accutron tuning fork watch and the hum it makes is wonderful as well!

Great post Leo and even greater retort. Personally I can't think of a better way to spend my time. BTW all my Rolexes say they agree and send their regards.

I tried listening, but all it said was: "The horror! The horror!"



I could be mistaken though, it might have said: "La hora! La hora!"

I do too I must confess, and I wonder why no one ever brings this up when discussing fakes. I've had several Auto winders with ETA, Seiko, Miyota, and NONE of them sound anything like a Rolex at all. Plus you can hear the rotors swinging around. Seems to me this would be a dead giveaway if it looked good enough to fool you.
