Can running over wind my Rolex?
I wear an Explorer 2 whilst I run and recently I have noticed that it vibrates for a second every minute or so. Is this the winding mechanism reaching its maximum wind? And am I damaging it by continuing to wear it when it does this?

A Rolex can't be over wound.

Here's some good insight from a recent thread on the same subject:

If you find that happening then start running backwards

Nope, the mechanism just slips once it get fully wound. Would be rather problematic otherwise.

No, it has a clutch to prevent overwinding.

As others have said, no worries. You're not going to over wind it...odds are it's going to run a little fast if you run with it, though.

Anyway, a jogger will hammer the watch more, break parts and wear it out more-so than somebody who isn't so active.. That would be considered "harsh use", and so would be at the early end of a maintenance (service) regimen rather than at the far end..
