The most 'potential abuse' you put your Rolex through?

A true voice of reason. I totally agree.

If I'm in the garden doing a few hours manual labour with tools - the chances of damage increase 10 fold. Whats it going to prove keeping it on all the time. Hey look at me - I've got an SD thats got more scratches & scrapes than you've had hot dinners ........ !!! Yeah wonderful. Lets face it - all this bullsh*t about tool watches, all environments etc. In terms of SD's\ Subs I'd bet most of us aren't Saturation divers or work as divers - desk divers in most cases. We want our watchs to look good & as far as possible only have superficial scratches\ scrapes

I've a seiko skx007 which I tend to use when out on my bicycle. Mainly cos if I'm putting in a hard shift - the rubber diver strap tends to stretch\ feel more comfortable than a metal strap

I wear mine most of the time, and almost anywhere in the world you can see my threads with pictures of my GMT all over the place.

Nevertheless i take it off when unecessary : Gym, Running, Paragliding, house work, moving furniture. I have G Shocks for that !

Why ? Simply because it took some serious financial effort to get it, my watch is definitely not a safe queen, but i avoid unecessary risk.

If you need to do some serious off roading, you can use a 500bhp Porsche Cayenne... or a Heavy Duty Land Cruiser, to each is own... i'd use a Land Cruiser...and would go way further...

My gmt2coke is on all time no matter what unless its uncomfortable (beach, gym, shooting, golfing, showering, sleeping, desk diving etc) - I pay for it in lots of bracelet scuffs, especially on the bottom clap area.
On the other hand I try to baby my TT subc because I consider it more jewelry than sports watch :)

delivered with love-

she finds out about the last Sub I acquired.
