Does anyone reckon the tale of land rover defenders rattling mechanical watches to death due to the gearstick shaking violently (as they do) at tickover when the watch is worn on the left wrist? Only asking as I own a Defender but not a mechanical watch!
When I worked as a engineer at Sky I used to wear a Seiko 5 as my work watch, spent half the day drilling holes into masonry with a SDS hammer drill, or banging cable clips into walls, never seemed to affect it.
Its sat in the cupboard now and if given a few shakes will start running again no problem.
However current daily is a nice Braun watch, or a Precista, or a Poljot, or my dads old gold Olma, and occasionally my Rolex or a original early Swatch.
I like watches 😀
