Does Your Watchmaker Know?

[Brew]

Do repetitive motions cause identifiable wear on a watch's movement? I was swimming laps earlier this morning and was wondering while looking at the black line if repetitive wear could be recognized in a movement as being caused by certain activities? Does Rolex Service know which of us play a whole lot of golf? Just curious. Thanks.

yes they even know when you're rocking it rough between the sheets

By "playing a whole lot of golf", you really mean another rigerous wrist flicking activity that you enjoy...

Reversing wheels and the rotor/axle/pinion will show more wear with higher amounts of wrist activity. But, I doubt your watchmaker will be able to identify exactly what you're doing with your wrist. That's between you and your watch.

Are the wrist jokes getting old yet?

I appreciate the responses. I guess I should have added, "asking for a friend," given same.

It's all in good fun. It's a fair question to ask.

I can tell exactly what you do, how long you do it, and what day you do it on...all by tearing down your movements. I see EVERYTHING.

Still curious about this, if there are any watchmaker who frequent the WatchTech sub-forum, or do I need to post in Jokes & Cartoons?

Who is your watchmaker? We can point him or her to this thread.



Serious answer is the same as I mentioned above... No, your watchmaker won't know the difference between a golfer and a jackhammer operator. Wear on the parts I mentioned will range from very little to a lot. If something needs replaced then it will get replaced, assuming it's a good watchmaker.

If you need any recommendations, let us know.

Got it. Thank you.
