Nine Things I Know About Watches

From TimeZone:

Nine Things I Know About Watches:

1. Free-sprung balances are neither free nor sprung.

2. People able to afford $50k watches aren't any smarter than those who can't - or at least they don't act any smarter in public.

3. People who leave their watches "crown down" at night should be observed closely.

4. People who wear their watches to bed aren't having sex on a regular basis.

5. People who are having sex on a regular basis don't wear their watches to bed.

6. People who wear their watches during sex, don't need watch winders.

7. The folks at Rolex laugh about their bracelets.

8. Patek, Lange and Rolex are like golf balls. The same company makes them all. As a matter of fact, Dunlop makes everything except cars.

9. The little doo-hickey that holds the what-cha-ma-call-it in line with the thing-a-ma-jig, is one of the most difficult parts to make in a watch.
