And here I am thinking it isn't safe to breath while wearing my Rolex.

RichM · 3 April 2016, 03:44 AM

You're a brave man Carlos.

I bought a Invicta for just those days.

SemperFi · 3 April 2016, 04:01 AM

Nope, not safe!

1gator · 3 April 2016, 04:05 AM

Definitely a G-Shock project.

Leodagan · 3 April 2016, 04:15 AM

I've been told and I thought Rolex was a tool watch... so I was wrong ....
You're not wearing a Patek or a Lange & Sohne .... ;-))

rmlovett1 · 3 April 2016, 04:32 AM

When my watch will be in a "may or may not be safe" situation.......like... Working with zip line equipment and zip lining thru the mountains......this one..

cdmorenot · 3 April 2016, 04:33 AM

Suspension is out!

Time for coilovers. So far, not a single ding. I think I'm gonna take it off before my luck runs out!!

Wear it and enjoy.

Timesurfer · 3 April 2016, 04:59 AM

brave and lucky! Sometimes I forget and start doing something I normally wouldnt do with my watches on and and have to remind mself to take it off...

ref1655 · 3 April 2016, 05:04 AM

exercise caution...I once chipped the crystal of my EXP2 while removing the #8 sparkplug out of a 351 Windsor housed in a 1969 Mustang engine compartment. the irony (and pain) was that I had just gotten the watch back from RSC servicing two weeks earlier.

Funny you mention, there is a Mustang in the house today :)

The watch is now off! Made for some interesting photos.

That car is beautiful. I was thinking about selling the Vette for a Mustang GT.

Here it is. 2012 Grand Sport. I'm not a fan of front plates and usually don't have mine on except for summertime. Down here at the shore it don't take much to get pulled over.

RichM · 3 April 2016, 05:23 AM

Back. These cars look so much better without front plates!

That's a cool plate and a gorgeous Vette.

And you're absolutely correct, I ran no front plate for a number of years but the tickets were adding up quickly.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm a Ford guy too. Here's the plate on my daily driver. A Ford Taurus SHO

WristEnvy · 3 April 2016, 05:49 AM

Are you working ever so gingerly?

kamonjj · 3 April 2016, 06:46 AM

I'd take it off when turning wrenches. however, I work in auto damage and wear my SDc everyday. I mostly get dirty and not dinged. The Rollie can handle a little dirt.

J Scott · 3 April 2016, 07:27 AM

Well, her car does need a wash...Meh, maybe tomorrow.

WhiskyVerb · 4 April 2016, 11:59 AM

I don't understand all the hesitancy of wearing a Rolex for everything. These are tough watches, right? So, what's a scratch? It means we are out there in the world spending TIME doing fun things. I think working on cars is fun.

If he dings it or his hand slips off a wrench and he slams it against a wheel well hard, will that really damage the movement?

Dashimmy · 4 April 2016, 12:05 PM

I'll tell ya what's crazy? I'm more careful with my $8000 car than I am with my $8000 watch.

And the Rolexes for Timexes???

james1787 · 4 April 2016, 03:45 PM

Car work is one I'll leave the Sub off and put the G-Shock on. I'm always contorting my hands and arms in places they aren't supposed to be.. so I avoid the nice deep gouges if I can. While I don't necessarily baby my Sub I also try to avoid places I know there is a very high percentage of getting a nasty scratch.

BNA/LION · 4 April 2016, 04:01 PM
