do you guys shake ur arm whenever u want to check out your watch/time?

Z-Sub · 2 September 2008, 03:32 PM

Yes if I'm in the office and the AC is cool and my wrist shrink since that makes the watch slid away.

marshallr47 · 2 September 2008, 03:39 PM

Occasionally I do. Kind of funny that we do that, don't you think?

Felly Jr. · 2 September 2008, 03:59 PM

I shake mine too (watch that is) I wonder how many is considered too much though?

chevycorvette · 2 September 2008, 04:02 PM

i shake it whenever it slid of the position.

i shake it when i want to check out the time.

i shake it when i just want to look at the dial. then i whisper to myself. god, this is a nice watch.

i think it is a habit of myself.

Sounds like three shakes is just right then.......and a little whisper for good measure.

Art161 · 2 September 2008, 04:14 PM

No. I just turn my arm a bit.

Drumr · 2 September 2008, 04:17 PM

we all could use one of these then...

BiG JeEzY · 2 September 2008, 05:32 PM

Not really, I just move my arm to see the time.

I shake the office girl next to me to make sure she notices me shaking my hand!!

SKSeoul81 · 2 September 2008, 05:37 PM

Guilty....have my watch(es) a bit loose on the wrist, so shaking is inevitable.

ashu2289 · 2 September 2008, 05:40 PM

Count me in too

MITS · 2 September 2008, 06:18 PM

I just use my other hand to bring it to the right spot on my arm...No shaking for me...

toph · 2 September 2008, 08:50 PM

esm · 2 September 2008, 08:50 PM

gmt master x · 2 September 2008, 08:57 PM

Admit it , we all do it or have done it.

CKay · 2 September 2008, 09:15 PM

Ah yes....I shake mine all the time. Shake it baby.

Andad · 2 September 2008, 10:13 PM

IMO - If you shake it more than once - that's playing with it.

Rolexitis · 2 September 2008, 10:47 PM

Shake n Bake Baby

I have to confess to not having entertained this particular eccentricity, but I'm willing to learn. Does it involve a notion of activating the automatic winder, or is it part of a Rolex display mating ritual?
