Cutting up an old Triumph motorcycle frame with a GMT.
Can I do that with my Rolex on? |

 Good for you though. I do everything with mine on as well.

The watch can certainly take it, however, I'm not sure all those vibration are really good for the movement. But probably more of a problem if one does it day in, day out...

Forget about the watch -- it can take it. But why are you abusing a lovely Triumph????? My favorite bike in my collection is my "modern" 2007 Bonnie...

with welding like that , you hardly need the grinder ,,, oh , and put the guard back on ,,, the majority of grinder accidents are caused by
1 ,,,, no eye protection 2 ,,, removed or damaged guards. but like others , why are you cutting up the frame ,,, is it going racing to the cafe..... |

I'm as "Tool Watch" as they come, but I can't see it with what they cost these days.

The crazy thing is that all that cutting probably won't create a single mark on those PCLs, but later you'll accidentally slam your wrist into a doorframe or get a visit from the Scratch and Dent Fairy while taking a strenuous nap.

The pic is cool but I wouldn't do that for fear of damaging the glass. These sparks don't seem glass friendly
