"The White Glove Treatment" anyone..?

Who while putting on or putting away a watch dawn a pair of white gloves so that your treasures do not suffer from "FINGER PRINTS" Etc.. You can purchase these white gloves in 50 packs from Amazon and dirt cheap..

I handle coins with cloth gloves, but that's about it.

'Dirt cheap?' ~ Not interested.

If I can't brag about how expensive something is, I want nothing to do with it.

I never wear a glove. I love how box feels on my bare skin.

Watch and camera equipment surely will have had fingerprints all over them while in use when wearing or taking photos. I would wipe down equipment but not got to extremes.

Better not be the Norwegian Blue. Those are endangered.

Could end up in a Monte Python sketch using one of them.

The title has prostate exam all over it.

Nice save.

But good idea on the gloves. Also a must for every bloody watch video review. Getting sick of some of the gross cuticle distractions.

I know he’s real popular on YouTube, but I can’t watch the sunglasses kid because of his nails. Those are podcast hands. Where’s Carol Marrel when you need her; or Madge, even?
