Can THEY hear us?

As some might remember, a few days I found that my Black Bay was stopping....

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=458273

I have a quick trip to Mexico City and plan to drop her off at Rolex Mexico...well as I strap her on today, she is still running without additional winding! Last full wind was on Tuesday.

This brings a spooky question...can they hear us????

I don't know about watches, but my car can certainly heal itself every time I take it in to fix a rattle...mysteriously vanished. Only to return after we've left the shop...

Probably due to a glitch in the space/time continuum

I said then, just wind every few days, like a mechanical watch. The sticky rotor probably freed itself up.

That is a very interesting question...maybe multi-language?

So, yours has it too. I'm glad I'm in good company.

Interesting that it is now running as it should; the real question is, "what changed?" Of course wearing a watch alone may not be sufficient to keep it running if there isn't enough activity to wind the mechanism. Maybe you should wear it on your dominant hand.

I have no idea. First time this ever happens to me. As I am still going close to Rolex, it might be a good idea for them to check it.
