[Discussion] How bad are motorbikes/scooters for mechanical watches? (alien.top)

Where I live it's pretty common to use motorbikes and scooters for day to day commute. I've heard people talk about how bad the vibrations from them can be to mechanical watches.

Is it really that bad? Sounds kinda counter productive that these watches that were built for sports like diving or motorsport or were used extensively in the wars of the 20th century can't withstand the vibrations of a motorbike.

People are silly. Wear your watch. If it has problems, send it in for service. It's not going to make a big difference.
