    Biggest mistake I made was with my first IWC. Took it off to try on another IWC. That was a number of watches ago.

    That's how the virus spreads! LOL

    Some very cringe-worthy stories here. Thanks, guys, for letting us learn from your mistakes.

    Roberto - glad to hear that there wasn't a truck speeding behind you when you fell.

    I have posted this here before, but my biggest mistake was leaving a ceramic watch in an area covered in more ceramic (tiles), with this being the end result -

    I guess my second biggest mistake was wearing my IWC's - if I didnt, my partner would not see them and she would not know I was a junkie and I would likely have more IWC's than I have now :)

    My biggest mistake in regard to IWC was walking into an IWC boutique. Based on my experience, boutique staffs aren't suppose to be that friendly and accommodating... its all wrong, I tell you.

    Second mistake was trying on another watch after my first...
