How OCD are watchgeeks?

I've long known that I have at least mild OCD. For example I can't stand a tangled cord or a watch bezel that does not line up (the worst). I'm wondering how rampant OCD is amongst watchgeeks. My initial thought would be that a pretty high percentage are just like me. I guess we will find out.......

I’m not OCD about things like bezels and tangled cords, but I am about food and utensil cleanliness and hand washing before eating, etc. Not so bad that I can’t deal with it, but it’s a strong preference.

I don’t know if it’s to be considered as OCD but I’m favourite of balanced dials. If possible I take a no date before a date.

That kind of falls under things not lining up catagory, or symmetry which is definitely OCD.

I’m tempted to re-cast my vote.  The proportions are look wrong.

I'm kinda of OCD hate finger prints on the glass. I find myself cleaning them daily even if I don't wear them. Wife thinks I'm crazy but I don't let that bother me.

I have ocd and I ignore it often but if it’s there and always present, ocd kicks in and it kicks in hard

I have it as well, and according to the survey so do 90% of the respondents!

This could be a part of being a watch geek!
