Iron Mike 💪 Vs. Auto/mechanical

Do you think there is an automatic or mechanical watch that would survive Five rounds of heavy bag training on Mike Tyson’s wrist? Imagine the velocity he generates and the sudden stop!

If you say yeah, feel free to name one and make your case 😁

I love when he said “I’m here to destroy, I refuse to let my opponent get involved” 🤣🤣🤣

Richard Mille. I’m not a fan of the watch myself but by all accounts they are hard to break. Romain Grosjean was wearing one during his horrendous crash at Bahrain in 2020. The impact was 67 G and he was stuck in the resultant fire for 27 seconds, the watch survived and was still working afterwards. Fillipe Massa was wearing one in Hungary in 2009 which left him with a severe head injury but again the watch survived.

A modern sage.

Helpful tips like “Never skip leg days.”

I recall he also had some niche advice in his autobiography for how celebrities might deal with their stalkers.

These would ve worth to try:

Certina DS (Double Security) Action

Formex Essence

I’m guessing that is auto racing and that’s an interesting comparison 😁 I bet that’s what a boxing match with Tyson would feel like if you survived, a terrible car wreck. 🌈

·

I’m guessing maybe an RM. Nadal plays hours at a time with an RM and it’s able to withstand the impact. Obviously he doesn’t hit like a 57 yr old Tyson, but whacking the ball for 3hrs plus is impactful.

Sorry, yes, F1 auto racing. I agree a Tyson punch would probably be like a car wreck, or plane crash, or a 2000lb JDAM bomb, that sort of ballpark 🤣

haha, fun question...a cheaper alternative to the RM could be Casio's G-Shock Gravitymaster B1000-1A1 "filled with layers of energy-absorbing gel":

And at 50.1mm a proper size for Mike's wrist :)

Seiko Golden Tuna.

Isn’t this what Diashock is for ? I’ve operated a 10X rivit gun for structural repair on an aircraft with an SKX on. (No issues)

Now it won’t land as heavy a hit , but in terms of frequency it’ll outdo iron Mike.

Richard Mille. They sacrificed good price and taste for maximum shock resistance. 😁

The Martin Baker range from Bremont💪

He is still ripped / still trains to stay in shape. Send him a few watches, and see what happens. 😃😂

Yeah and now that he’s a nice guy he’s even scarier LoL 🌈

And everybody has a mouth until they get punched by Mike Tyson.

Maybe the IWC made for Toto Wolf? :P

Maybe a RM? Considering that Nadal can wore it during some games

He said it in reference to Lennox Lewis:

“I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there's ever been. There's no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I'm Alexander, he's no Alexander. I'm the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. I'm Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey. There's no one like me. I'm from their cloth. There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”

That’s it…that’s the quote.

Can Ball watch company get some love? Their whole premise is anti-magnetic, anti-shock wat hes for rough and rugged professions. Give Mike a Hydrocarbon and him have a go.

·

Any watch with a cheap movement will do.. it’s already losing time anyways lol

Be careful not to get roped in. @nicely is one of those Stolen Valor kooks who clout chase by claiming to be a war veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan. "Stan" says he hates people bragging and flexing about watches while he brags about fake combat tours, flexes about his service and disrespects "civilians".

This phony isn't a black eye for real servicemen but he does live this fantasy onlife life were he is eager to anonymously talk about boxing and his war veteran status but can't handle it if you don't agree with his various unhinged fantasies.

I don't post anonymously and I will continue telling others about this Stolen Valor kook until he leaves or he blocks me.
