Thread: Waving?

  1. #1

    Waving?

    Christmas is fast approaching and as usual we'll be visiting and be visited by various relatives. So, with this in mind I've started thinking about what watch to wear when 'seeing them off'.

    Would an automatic (or even a manual wind) be affected by vigorous waving or should I best pop upstairs and change to a quartz for these formalities?


    Edit:- Just realized I'm right-handed so shouldn't affect watch - info might be useful for others though!

    It only matters if the watch costs more than £13k.

    I would recommend changing into a G-shock when waving, you don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

    One should also consider the following, surely?

    1. How long will one be waving? 1, 2 or 3 hours at a time?

    2. How much energy will one be expending whilst waving: Lame wristed, slightly vigorous, or totally mental.

    3. Does one expect to be waving every day for above mentioned intervals and ferocity?

    4. Will one be resting between waving sessions? Maybe changing hands on a rotation basis to avoid the onset of stress related illness?

    5. If all else fails perhaps one should cease wearing any watches at all during the Festive Waving Season just for peace of mind..

    This is nonsense, you can wave with either hand, there are no rules of waving or maybe I am just ignorant.

    I would not raise your arm with watch above your head, just not worth the risk.

    But this has got me thinkng about the rules regarding Nazi salutes for which arm and which arm you should be wearing your watch on if you were in the 3rd Reich.

    What sort of watch does the Queen wear? You'd be safe with one of those, I'd have though.

    What about ex footballer Mike Channon? What sort of damage could he do to his watch if he into one of his windmill celebrations whilst wearing it?

    Time for Rolex to come up with a gaudy looking Wavemaster for the professional waver.

    That's why she's perfected the 'Royal wave'.
