Dutchy Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Ok, I might as well state it here. If you take your watch (whether Panerai, Omega, Rolex, Breitling, etc.) and place it in a ziplock bag (make sure you take the leather band off if it has one to secure results) and place it in dry or slightly moist soil, maybe a plant pot or your garden, for a total of 5 hours (keep it out of direct sunlight), the watch will start to re-generate itself, allowing it to be more than 3 second correct per day according to official time. You don't even have to open the case, just make sure its in a little bag (preferably zip lock as it allows the air to be kept outside easier and more efficiently.) I just did it with my PO Ultimate and its perfect now! It will remain this way, though its advised to do it once a week. Here's mine: I put the flower pot over it to remember where I buried the watch: Stop paying others to fix your watches. Simple instructions and it really pays off, just 5 hours of your time.

Fireman_Fred Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I buried my whole collection in various parts of the garden (as an experiment to see if the results varied in different soil etc..), now I can't find them !!!!

Dutchy Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) hehehe, looks good jon! I was afraid people would actually just bury their watches (one person REALLY did....not naming any names, lol, hehehehe, hahah) therefore I said put a ziplock bag over it (otherwise my birthday money would go to repairing people's watches! LOL!) The funniest things are the PM's and the fact that The Zigmeister came into the thread, was in there for like 10 minutes. I can imagine him going: WTF?????? Anyway here have a little April Foo's fun? Edited April 2, 2007 by Dutchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway here have a little April Foo's fun? your an animal floris..... i cannot believe someone would try this without you mentioning that you need fertilizer first and you can only put them facing north and no more than 8 inches into the soil... also what many do not understand the little known fact that if it is pointing south and it is a full moon you can bury it at night for a full relume. also even the best part yet! if you bury your rep in a stack of 50 $100 bills and drop it off at most ADs they will trade you a brand new gen for it!!!! this is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
