Watchlords

Yesterday I wore one of my vintage Rolex 4220 "SPEEDKING"s for the day.



I put it up on my bookshelf to the right of my desk and grabbed my Datejust that was sitting next to it.



As I picked up the Datejust,



I somehow snagged my finger on the 4220 and it fell four feet face first onto the floor. . .

I've never done anything like that before.

Twenty-one hours later it is still running and keeping perfect time.

Pretty good for an 80 year old watch!

D'oh! That's a heart in the mouth moment for sure. Good to hear it came through with flying colours.

Thanks! I should have mentioned more clearly that it landed on a laminate floor, not deep plush shag carpet like in the back of Conjurer's van!

Heart in mouth moments like that can ruin your day, glad everything is OK with your gorgeous watch sir.
