Decided to make my own..

Hi all after always having a soft spot for rolex's that have lived a non pampered life and built up some character over the years I ve decided to build my own..

I m a electrician by trade and have always wanted to wear my collection of watches to work, came close a few times but never had the balls to actually do it. But now I ve picked up this gmt master coke which is one of my all time favourite watches and by far the most comfortable to wear for a fair price and this is going to be with me at all times from here on in. So let's see just how tough these watches are! I m not going abuse the watch but also I m not going to pamper it.

Some before pictures and the after pictures will be in 30ish years time...

Love it. My contractor wears a yellow gold Sub, and I watched him demo a wall while wearing it.
