vibration from a Harley
 

will the vibration from my Harley do any harm to the movement? (GMT II Z serial #)
thanks
mike

you should be fine

It just keeps 'em wound up..........:rofl:

I always wear mine riding... not a problem in 30 years.

Only time I ask customers if they ride a Harley is when I see screws loose in their movement... 50% of the time they do.
Still, I think you'll be fine... I don't see it that often!

thanks for the info. Especially the screw loose part.

I have a few screws loose, but I don't ride a Harley.

My wife won't let me get near a Harley, claiming they are too dangerous for a guy as foolish as I. How badly will my Rolex be damaged if she catches me on one?

Every boy should have a Harley at least once

Well Mike, if it has a 32xx movement and it’s running slow, someone will be along any minute to explain it to you:chuckle:

I have a buddy that had a 16618 in the 90’s. He was riding his Harley and it fell off (most likely a screw backed out or a spring bar broke). He never found it.

That’s a bummer. I could actually see how that might happen.:banghead:

Logically I would think the rotor axle will get a lot of vibrations and therefore wears out quicker.

Rode my HD with my Sub on for many years, it was fine until I went down and scrapped up the Sub. (I have a thread here about it, but I cannot find the Pics of it scrapped up)


The Vibration was never an issue.

I also shoot (trap, skeet, IDPA, USPSA, 3-Nug) with it and its perfectly fine along with Golf, so I do not baby it. Its solid!

The human body is a wonderful vibration attenuator.

Pretty sure Mike was talking about a Harley Brian, not a time machine :chuckle:

Touche my friend :chuckle::chuckle:

I have a 1951 and a 1962 BMW, never a problem. Of course, the real answer to rough usage is a NATO band. BMWs are in the Rolex parking lot outside Geneva.
I used to have an FXRP, then went back to motorcycles that were as dependable as my Rolex Submariner red 1680.

I think a 13 Year resurrection is bad luck - and no I’m not triskaidekaphobic.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that… :chuckle:

I am not owning my Harley anymore bur always wore my watches while driving. Never had issues.

I know it is ok to wear a Rolex and ride a Ducati. Only issue would be laying it down with a watch on.

I was born on Friday the 13th, so bring it on! :chuckle::cheers:

I rode bicycles and the road vibration loosened a screw in the bracelet. Caught before it fully dislodged.

'Been on the Harleys since '76, I never wear a Rolex while riding.
Too many jerks out there.
