We have all heard all the redneck jokes..now how bout your thoughts on what defines a
Watch Idiot Savant??
I'll start with a few..
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 200 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 $200 worth SS bracelet.
has a annual budget of $500 on the purchase of a new watch and posts the question on the TRC forum "which one is better? a Rolex or a Panerai?"
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.
...ten minutes after meeting someone for the first time, can tell you what kind of watch the person was wearing, but can't remember their name.
someone who remembers what watch their proctologist was wearing..!!
Wakes up in the emergency room and asks the nurse if his watch was scratched.
Takes off his watch before sex.
Knows the two-letter Internet country code for Switzerland.
Anymore?
