Definition of a WIS
I remember seeing many months ago, a list defining what it takes to be a WIS. Anyone know the thread? I haven't been able to find it. Just got my wife a midsize Platty and she is now truly becoming a WIS!

The best definition ever was posted by our own Padi some years ago:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...niversary+Padi Wis = Watch Idiot Savant. 1.A person self trained to sleep in 5 positions while wearing his/her COSC certified chronometer in bed. 2.A person who opens the back of a new Patek on the first day of acquisition and hand winds the rotor to tighten up the main spring. 3. A person who takes his 2000 meter water proof Rolex SD off from the wrist. And puts it into the deepest pocket,and three plastic bags before walking into a rain storm without any rain gear on. 4.A person who waits every 5 minute in front of his radio controlled clock in order to adjust all his/her 14 mechanical watches to the accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per 24 hours. 5. A person who can memorises all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting the wifes wedding anniversary. 6. A person who washes his/her watch in luxury shampoo,polishes with specially bought cloth.Then rests it on another specially bought cloth just encase they scratch the stainless steel. __________________

I think you can add a person who looks at there watch every five minutes but doesn't know what time it is

I hadn't seen this one! Very true, but I do remember another list that had at list one that said something to the effect of having to look at your watch 2-3 times before actually realizing what time it is.

Right on Topher! I've gotten random texts throughout the day saying she loves her watch, but has no idea what time it is!
