I noticed after driving my old beater Ferrari that there is some considerable vibration with sport mode on and hitting bumps....Now my watch is running 2 seconds slow after a 20 days.

Is this dangerous to the movement?
Should I send it in for service?
And should I have them polish it at service or will this affect the value?

If you're bored, have a few minutes, and curious to join me on a Texas drive, here's a video of the damage done to the watch during San Antonio cars & coffee and an Alamo City Ferrari club drive.

First world problems lol

I go to the driving range with my DD

Your sub is fine

Ian Macdermott · 8 November 2018, 04:48 AM

Have I got this right your watch is running 2 seconds slow after 20 days.

If so the Yes send it in immediately that's whole 0.1 seconds a day deviation which is totally unacceptable on a mechanical timepiece.

Boba Fett · 8 November 2018, 04:52 AM

Everyone knows it's not safe to wear a Rolex and drive a car, especially your beater Ferrari, noob.

exador · 8 November 2018, 04:53 AM

Dude, your ‘beater’ is the wrong colour. Everyone knows that Fezzas should be Rosso Corsa.

faimag · 8 November 2018, 04:53 AM

It's probably the Ferrari that needs to go in for a service to minimize the vibrations

Well I feel like an idiot!

Thank gosh for this forum!

Will send in the watch AND car for service asap!

Slippy Chips · 8 November 2018, 05:01 AM

I sure hope it’s safe! I’ve been living on the edge of it is dangerous

PS: not my cars. In Hollywood there is a place you can rent exotics for a $110 for 30 minutes of utopia

Hi,

Safe to drive any car. Safe to let RSC polish during a routine service.

173rdabn · 8 November 2018, 05:05 AM

Words "beater" and Ferrari really, really don't belong in the same sentence. As for the vibration, have the wheels balanced by a competent shop, problem should be solved. Also, Sport Mode stiffens the suspension settings and magnifies any tendency for bump steer. Have the suspension bushings and settings checked as well.
As for the watch, enjoy it. What you're doing won't hurt it at all.

Nothing to worry about with a little vibration.. those movements can handle much more than that.

ap1 · 8 November 2018, 05:14 AM

Lol

toolr · 8 November 2018, 05:48 AM

No, it's not safe... sell the car and buy a mini van.

tudorbaja27 · 8 November 2018, 05:57 AM

Is it safe Rolex threads are the inverse of Betteridge’s law.

The answer is usually Yes.

Would have expected a Ferrari owner to be wearing a Platona
