I live out near Wixom
Out of the fray of the metro. Used to live in Ferndale where neighbor's where actually seriously concerned about sudden riots.
It was an off color joke that landed with some and not so much with others. Sorry if it offended you. I'd blame the lockdown on my humor going haywire but it was overly dark to begin with.
Rolex Sub 16610 shock test
The Rolex sub was the Navy seal standard issue watch until 1983 when they switched over to G shock. So it obviously can stand up to the standard recoil of a 5.56 cartridge. However, In preparation for the upcoming deer and Detroit looting season I needed ...
I guess the shock can’t be more than golfing.
The issue as i have heard is the shock knocks off the lubricant which in turn caused excessive friction.
It's a difficult to articulate sort of fun putting it's history to the test
The great escape, the air king being worn by the RAF, the 4 milsub references... It's just fun paring it with the technology of today and seeing if it keeps up.
+48 over 7 days pretty sure I magnetized it again
+48 seconds, resetting now. Ill repost next service with how it did. ...
Impressive!
As a golfer and a hunter I am reasonable certain the shock from the 50 is considerably more than from a golf swing. I had to repair my Patek 5170 after shooting a 308 with it on, a much smaller shock than from a 50 caliber.
Grass cutting with motor-mower
I now always remove my watch when motor-mowing my grass lawn. I once did not and the watch I was wearing (Omega Constellation) suffered bad timekeeping afterwards because of the vibration. I now always remove a watch from my wrist if carrying out an activ...
I'm not the greatest comidian
It's my attempt at humor, if it's over the line my apologies.
Thanks for apologizing.
You're pretty new to posting here, so here's a suggestion: Just post regular watch stuff for awhile without trying to be funny. Without the "Detroit looting" reference (and arguably without the weaponry-centric photo), your post is quite interesting and s...
Completely get the looting thing was off color
With the political link to current events it would have been best to avoid the reference. Not sure I can agree on the gun thing though. Sure an AP or Patek would have been out of place but it's a Rolex Sub. Now if I was wearing a Uylesse Nardin I think yo...
When golfing
I usually wear quartz. If it s mechanical, I wear a water resistant 10 ATM (at least) watch and hang it from my belt. No problems so far and I can still see the watch face clearly at all times. Thanks
Mmm it’s a bit off... camouflage, automatic and the looting statement - it’s not on the edge- while shooting with your auto on this cool peaceful watch website... What is your next step?
I hope this is not your last post before joining your commando friends tonight... Unless you are testing the water here / recruiting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man... it’s bit extreme and there is some anger. By the way most modern forces use a G-Shock now ... And I am a gun l...
I moved here from NYC
It's absolutely insane. They have police snipers settup next to all the government buildings Everytime those guys come out. Just a fun hobby.
When your living in a 90's movie
You gotta gear up like it's the 90's On a more serious note where out in a remote location and I don't like having lifesaving gear in a detachable pack.
Confused about the Detroit reference...are you from Detroit or live in the area? Odd post for this site even with the Sub shooting test....
Or just making a joke/comment about a most often mistaken city and metro area? We here in the Detroit area can be sensitive to bad talk about a great city that has been thru a lot... -D- Currently live in metro Detroit for last 15 years

No problem.. as you well know then Detroit has a bad rap for some reason throughout the country/world with people that have never been to the city or area..or Michigan for that matter..
Great state, great city, great people that have been thru alot...just had to throw my 2 cents in... not trying to start something just had to stickup for the place I call home... Enjoy the shooting and your watches in the best of health.. -D-
