For overhead painting jobs? Must be a good workout to have that strapped on!

Beautiful Watch. Fantastic way to reward yourself for all the hard work.
You think you had to work hard to get the watch. Wait until you have to paint with that monster on your wrist haha. It will be like painting everything twice it's so heavy haha.
Brush strokes will seem an awful lot harder after a few hours ;)
Enjoy it and love it, wherever you wear it

Welcome to the club and wear it in the best of health!

It's funny because while I could never wear one of my "good" watches while doing manuel labor for fear of damaging it, my dad wore his YG DD for 25 years doing everything including working on his collector cars, in his work shop, etc. He bought it to wear and like was already said, YG is tougher than most give it credit for and can be repaired easier than SS if needed.

Good for you!

Wow fair play to you Jesse!!

It's taken me eighteen months or more to start wearing my 216570 to work at the skip (dumpster?) yard and your watch is in a whole different league!!

You're bang on the button though mate and a watch is made to be worn.....
It wasn't until my ExpII became my daily-wearer that I truly bonded with it so I'm sure you're doing the right thing.
