Congrats for not just getting a beautiful watch but for the boldness of wearing it to work.

BTW, I handled one recently at the AD and it was like holding a brass knuckle made for king kong.

Thanks Mr Painter !! Hahah my pants are from Flugger Color Company (Danish company) I think they cost like $80 with the kneepads.
I dont know if you can order them online, I can check it for you or you can PM me your size and I can try to find them for here in Stockholm

Fantastic - love the pics.

Such versatility with this watch ;)

I'd put a little something over the watch when I paint tho. I'm sure you'll be careful.

Enjoy!

Really nice my friend ... I would think twice about wearing it to work though !! You don't need any oil based paint to get inbetween the links !! I don't know how good of an idea it is to clean the watch with mineral spirits or thinner .... Also that nice shines part of the bracelet, you can kiss that goodby in about a week ... And if you work for yourself expect to get looked at differently from your customers . I don't wear any watch when I go to price a job or even work. Just for the fact the customers think you are getting "rich " off of them and will try to find someone else to do the job . Keep the goodies for the weekend ! Enjoy !

Maybe the solid gold watch keeps his hand steady for the fine detail painting. I know my painted corners always look like garbage. Congrats on that wrist treasure you own.

Congrats, Jesse! That's the way to do it, brother ...reward yourself for that hard work, and wear it proudly at work to remind yourself why you're there Is that your first gold piece? I've never had one yet, but thinking of saving up for a TT or gold Sub soon.

Why I do my own paint jobs.

Kidding aside, that's a very nice watch! Saw a green dial one today.

So cool that you wear it in your "suit".

Gratulerar!!!!
