Get a Folex Sub for work. If your coworkers ask you if it's real, you say, "No - my real ones are in a vault..."

"I work with machine tools"

If you are working with machine tools you should not be wearing any jewelry at all in case it gets caught on and pulls your hand, arm or wrist into the machine. Heard some real horror stories of such things happening to people and they walked away with either a few less digits or worse.

Anyway, that's too nice of a piece to be wearing in a shop environment in my humble opinion.

Great pieces, enjoy both.
Great advice, I think this is what I'm going to do. I totally intended to wear the 14060M for work but then thought wouldn't the ceramic hold up better and be less prone to little dings and dents? I don't think that I would really "smash" it. Haven't done that to any watch yet. So, anyway, I wore the Sub C this morning. Last night, my son told me he could really get into the 14060. I still have to think about this.
