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

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

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

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?
