Don't try this at home...
Greetings TRF!
I don't know if I'm the only one but I remember seeing (on this forum I'm pretty sure) a thread explaining how a lawyer broke (I should actually say messed up) his Rolex Submariner while mowing his lawn. Well, today it was my duty to do it and I thought it would be a great opportunity to remember this unfortunate accident...and to accept the challenge of doing something crazier than that! Perhaps some people don't like jewels and will think this is stupid but it's great to feel like Flava Flav once in a while! As you can see, the result isn't that bad. You wouldn't believe a watch as fragile as this one would endure so much mowing! |

If you're talking about that scratch on my crystal I'll have to tell you it was there before I mow my lawn! In fact I didn't wear all this stuff while I was doing it (I guess you figured it out yourself, I'm not THAT crazy! ).
To answer your question (if you really wanted to know), an electric lawn mower does vibrate but not that much. The problem with mine is that I passed over a metal gauge thingy we have in front of our house (on the lawn...the guy who had this idea was one clever man! ) for the water and since that embarrassing accident it's vibrating more and doing a strange sound... |

So you are not spending all the money on rings, coke and strippers
