Geee....thanks, Mark. I just tried it on my Pam and the water drop actually stopped and stayed put. It sort of formed a bulge. I then went to one of my officemates, grabbed his wrist and did the same on his Swatch quartzie and the water actually spread and imediately and rapidly flowed to the bezel edges. Man!!! This is good stuff, Markhand6.gif

Will this drop test work with single malt????
