That's exactly what I thought. I bet people the world over are going to start strapping their Rolex to their wheels and doing burnouts!

I have to wonder, being subjected to constant centrifugal force probably would not wind the watch at all....

Also I have to imagine the force probably begins to exceed or get near some design limits on the watch...

I know its a joke, but I am an engineer and can never fully get away from it... It's close to a sickness, but it is what allows me to pay the bills...

And not only is it safe to wind your Rolex using a german car, it is also safe to listen to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" with your Rolex.
