Hei, ser det er mange som er "WIS" - Hva betyr dette? Er det eventuelt noen andre slike forkortelser som blir brukt som det kan være greit å kunne? :)
 
Takk for det.

På bakgrunn av dette fant jeg noe morsomt:

Definitions of a Watch Idiot Savant:

-self trained to sleep in 5 positions with wearing his/her COSC certified chronometer in bed.
-opens the back of a new Patek on the first day of acquisition and hand winds the rotor in tighten up the main spring.
-takes the 200 meter water proof Seadweller off from the wrist and puts it into the deepest pocket before walking into a storm without any rain gear.

-waits every 60 minute in front of a radio controlled clock all weekend in order to adjust all his/her 14 mechanical watches to the accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per 24 hours.
- spends $500 plus on polish equipment and materials and works 20 hours in order to refinish a $200 worth SS bracelet.
- has a annual budget of $500 on the purchase of a new watch and posts the question on the Timezone forum "which one is better? a Rolex or a TAG?"
- wears a triple date chronograph with moon phase everyday, but cannot even tell time from the basic hour and minute hands on the dial without a pair of reading glasses.
- memorizes all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting the wedding anniversary.
 
De av oss som har WIS på brukerprofilen sin, er de som har over 1000 innlegg her på forumet. Definisjonen av WIS kan være så mangt. Her litt humoristisk, kopiert fra denne siden;)

EDIT: Ser trådstarter kom meg i forkjøpet, men lar det stå allikevel :)
 
Redigert:
* du svarer saklig og parallellt med fire andre brukere på hva denne forkortelsen står for og smiler gjenkjennende på allt som skrives om slike "klokke-idioter", men mener selvsagt at akkurat DIN relasjon til ur er høyst fornuftig og forsvarlig :eek:
 
Akkurat "savant" delen av forkortelsen står for "opplyst", eller "kunnskapsrik innen emnet"

Så litt direkte oversatt blir det vel "Kunnskapsrik klokkeidiot" :)
