Cheese Curd Sensation While Winding FOIS.

I am wearing my FOIS today.

Last week when I wore it the crown worked well but I was getting a squeaky sensation while winding it.

Reminiscent of eating cheese curds many years ago when carefree and with younger arteries.

Same sensation this week. Watch is working fine.

A quick search of this forum shows at least one result, with a funny reply from Jiminoz. (See link).

Jim, as a firearms instructor I totally agree.

So, watchmakers and experts, what is happening?

I have never had poutine, by the way…





And enjoy the rest of your week.

Late entry:

I did a bit more digging, and another thread has replies from some of our forum watchmakers and experts…

Conclusion; I will continue using the watch until it needs help… and keep avoiding cheese curds.

I live just 30 minutes south of Cheese curd land. I have never understood the appeal. Bland squeaky fat nuggets.

When winding my IWC I get the feeling of biting into a nice Filet Mignon🐄.

I guess we’ll need to add poutine to the list of things to avoid while wearing a Speedmaster…

Watches are great and all but now all I can think about is the time I was in the Pacific Northwest and took a tour of the Tillamook cheese factory and enjoyed fried cheese curds and was then airlifted to the nearest trauma center for an artery transplant.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Might just need some Fomblin grease for the crown seal...I can do that next time you drop by.

Thanks for all the laughs folks. This was the desired effect.

And @Felix_La_PuBelle Grosse Pointe Blank brings back great memories.
