  • An invention?

    From Timatmarford@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 17 15:19:04 2025
    Ultrasonic vibration undoes the fixing pins on my watch!
    On three occasions, Dentist twice and today during a hospital ultrasound examination, the sprung pin securing the strap has come out of the sockets.

    An invention (of your imagination) I think. Quite possibly you were
    tensing the muscles in your forearm at the time. You don’t say which part
    of your body was being examined but some are more eye-watering than others.

    Probably. I'm not suggesting it is saleable:-) Posted more to see if
    others have had the same experience. My Dentist seemed rather surprised
    when I had his assistant combing the floor for the missing spring pin. Yesterday was a bladder examination although she had a look at both
    Kidneys as well.
    Long way from my left wrist.
