Cutting up an old Triumph motorcycle frame with a GMT.

Can I do that with my Rolex on?

Mr Daytona · 22 January 2015, 06:43 AM

You're going to give some of the "I'm afraid I might hurt my little precious" members a heart attack.........LMAO.

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

thewatchguy93 · 22 January 2015, 06:44 AM

Wow, be careful!

Brushpup · 22 January 2015, 06:44 AM

As long as you wear protection.

tumbling_dice12 · 22 January 2015, 06:47 AM

Good to see you putting a great tool watch through the paces. It'll be just fine.

MATCH1969 · 22 January 2015, 07:04 AM

You should protect your hands first

superdog · 22 January 2015, 07:19 AM

but is it a tool that helps you in this task?

or is it a tool that helps you tell the time?

either way, great pic......

I ripped off my finger with a hole saw on a drill press wearing an 18Kt Bluesy Sub.

Heh.

psv · 22 January 2015, 07:37 AM

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...

sco · 22 January 2015, 07:43 AM

Why?

dchernikoff · 22 January 2015, 08:56 AM

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...

dysondiver · 22 January 2015, 09:16 AM

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.....

JimSnyder · 22 January 2015, 12:30 PM

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

tkerrmd · 22 January 2015, 12:33 PM

Nice!

jnkay · 22 January 2015, 01:32 PM

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.

regnant · 22 January 2015, 09:12 PM

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