why is it that my £25 seiko never hit the door handle
it never seemed to scrape the clasp on the desk
i never banged the face onto the corner of a worktop or the shelf as i walk past

my TT SUB on the other hand just has to kiss every object im close to

or am i just noticing this more because its my precious (said in a golum type voice

)

that's why, for some people, it's better to buy less expensive things - less drain on the brain in terms of worry.

I used to do that all the time, now I subconscienciously move my arm behind my back as I go through tight doorways.

I'm sure that given time you'll develop this acknowledged Rolex medical condition too

X2

The only thing to that is I have found myself doing the protection move with my seiko on!

LOL! That's what I do, but I don't confine that manuveur to just tight doorways. I do it when I pass other people, walk by any stationary object, like cars, desks, etc, pretty much ANYTHING. There SHOULD be a medical term for this manuveur...

I got it! The medical term for involuntary movements is Dyskinesia, So I figure the appropriate term for moving your arm to protect you Rolex from impacts should be..... WISkinesia!

Whatcha guys think?
