Bet he has no idea!

That a 2 second encounter with a TRF'er would result in a round the world discussion!

Great story and interesting preferences....though it does make you wonder!

I can see his point about setting the date...having set the date and it failing to turn over at midnight, but others have pointed the simple solution. The bracelet spacing sounds logical as well, especially with older models that have a fixed bracelet. Some newer models have expanding links or bracelet features (GMT IIc, SDDS, etc...) which negates this point...

A Timex? Wow. But to be honest, when you go to the Porsche or BMW dealership and look at what the guys in the service department are driving, you don't see a lot of Carreras...but a lot of Hondas and Toyotas! Maybe this is a sign?!

Thanks for the story!

Thanx for the info on this thread. It has made for interesting reading and the comments have been good. As for the bracelet on my Rolex I wear it tight against the wrist and the dial is on the underneath side of the wrist!!!
