Dumb question, I'm sure

[scl6118]

I'm a newer member and have always wondered what "WIS" stood for, can somebody tell me? I've finally worked up the nerve to ask and I'm sure it's something I should have guessed.

Watch Idiot Sevant!

Although, some of us leave the 'Sevant' at home sometimes...

I wanted to answer this

I just answered a Stupid question, so I figured a dumb one would be easy

symptoms of being a Watch Idiot Savant include:

Self trained to sleep in 5 positions with wearing his/her COSC certified chronometer in bed.

Opens the back of a new Patek on the first day of acquisition and hand winds the rotor in tighten up the main spring.

Takes the 1000 meter water proof Seadweller off from the wrist and puts it into the deepest pocket before walking into a storm without any rain gear.

Waits every 60 minute in front of a radio controlled clock all weekend in order to adjust all his/her 14 mechanical watches to the accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per 24 hours.

Spends $500 plus on polish equipment and materials and works 20 hours in order to refinish a $400 worth SS bracelet.

Has a annual budget of $500 on the purchase of a new watch and posts the question on the Timezone forum "which one is better? a Rolex or a TAG?"

Wears a triple date chronograph with moon phase everyday, but cannot even tell time from the basic hour and minute hands on the dial without a pair of reading glasses.

Memorizes all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting the wedding anniversary.
