How do you shake it, (baby!)..... ?

Recommended Posts

With my toungue firmly in my cheek....

I have found with various automatics including those with similar movements... that the angle of the shake to wind them varies from watch to watch... not significantly but enough to notice... I have always been a keen shaker... :)

I have wondered why this varies especially with the same movements.... so why is this? Is it the weight variation or size of the bearing weight or the positioning or case..or is it just a shake technique?? ;)

Any thoughts? Any comments? Any ardent shakers out there? or are you all happy to have it done for you? ;) no inuendo there I am talking about winders!!

As if I was about to roll dice, more wrist rotation than 'magicking the beans' (old UK coffee advert reference :D )

Yeah but can you do the sound as you do it.... you cant do the Nescafe unless you do the sound.... Law of England.. :)

@F.... whose eyes closed ???

@woof.... what about alternating hands after 2 shakes?

Almost no auto watches left.. Only manual wind ;)

But when I do shake, I flick my wrist to get the engines running...

Petem "what about alternating hands after 2 shakes?"

yes that is ok but you still grow hair on your palms! Funny thread.

They say you'll go blind!

To that I say...let's just do it till we need glasses :)

So Red swirls like brandy... I guess that means he has to warm it up...

We now know BikeMike waxes his hands...

TJ is in the closet about making a noise as he shakes it...

ASC likes to flick it about the place....

and Woof is a long term planner when it comes to shaking it....

I just wouldn't want to disturb wifey with the noise :lol:

To quote the Gunny: "Hell, I like you... you can come over to my house and fuck my sister!" :lol:

I swirl them 360 degrees in my palm, but I only count every other swirl, so it mentally seems like I'm doing less work than I am. When I wind my wife's watch, I'll give it 200 swirls to get her started on the day. She doesn't move a lot at work.
