I will say yes, but with it off I will say no.

A lawyer in Denmark would cut his grass when he checked before the start his lawnmower then took off his Yachtmaster
and added on top of the engine. Unfortunately, he forgot it and came to grips with the job. Shortly after this he was a
loud noise and a loud bang and flying out the watch from the rotating blades.

This is how it looked when he gathered the pieces together.

Jocke, the truth is that they just don't build em
like they used to!

And some mock the "can I wear my Rolex while..." threads.
Critical info I say!

Ouch! reminds me of the time I placed my eye-glasses on the small outboard motor of a boat and dove in for a swim. Pull-started the motor, when I got out, and saw something shiny in the water; my glasses sinking to the bottom. Not as bad as mulching your Rolex though, that has to hurt. Time for a service I guess lol.

Kanger · 28 May 2011, 09:56 AM

Very truly unfortunate. Hurts me to see a Rolex like this, even if it's a Yachtmaster that I am not the least bit interested in. Still sad.

Tunacan26 · 28 May 2011, 09:58 AM

Well, he's a lawyer, maybe he can sue himself for negligence??

roger0770 · 28 May 2011, 09:58 AM

where are the bezel and dial? platinum is still platinum before & after the lawnmower.

I guess the steel is steel after the accident too.

Wear a G-Shock or something sporty and digital to cut the lawn.... Not a flipping Rolex.

moviefreak · 28 May 2011, 10:31 AM

A regular service will have it ticking in no time..

I wonder what would RSC say if you send all the pieces and ask them to not over polish the watch..

Darlinboy · 28 May 2011, 10:34 AM

It is sad, but you should have seen the other guy!!!

That's covered under warranty, isn't it?

Speed · 28 May 2011, 10:45 AM

Is it safe to mow your lawn with your SS Rolex if you got it for an average discount of 20% off from an AD - in Italy?

gsd119 · 28 May 2011, 10:45 AM

I just logged in for the first time and wow, how much did that Yacht Master cost the lawyer a couple of malpractice cases it proves lawyers are not very smart.

Newportkrieger · 28 May 2011, 10:46 AM

I knew it...thats why I bought a house with no yard!!!!

bscepter · 28 May 2011, 10:48 AM

i guess a YM really isn't a tool watch after all...

Maybe the YM qualifies as a "tool" only on a "yacht" of course I have only seen two out on "yachts" are at the club in the last four years of actively looking.. lol

In fact, the two guys who wear the YM's are pretty much considered "tools" themselves around the club...

Will that be a total write off or still serviceable at RSC?

Newportkrieger · 28 May 2011, 04:33 PM

FYI.. its probably covered under any reasonable homeowners policy if one wanted to make a claim.
