I've just had my first 7750 wobble.

Strange what you say about a mobile phone on vibrate, that is exactly the way I would have described it initially, but it isn't nearly so noticable to me now.

As one way spins freely but the other winds the watch you sometimes get a wobble on your watch while wearing it. I presume it is because it is changing direction and so creates a bit of imbalance momentarily. One of the little things about mechanical watches that make then so endearing.
I get the same "wobble" on my LIMES moonphase

Get the wobble on my Longines Admiral GMT, its a Valgrange movement (always thought it used a 2893 but it does not), I suspect the CW power reserve model would get it too.

It does indeed

Wobble is a bit like the old "pager" vibrations but much, much more subtle and significantly shorter (1/2 second maybe) but you find yourself going "Whoa! What was..." And then you find yourself "fiddling" with it again trying to get it to repeat that same affect. I can only imagine that it is as close as us guys will get to the first time a girl "discovers" the most common adult toy.

Where do you keep your watch, then? ... UB
