I certainly would....

Lion · 27 March 2009, 11:05 AM

Yes, I would but I don't see your point!!!

JF23 · 27 March 2009, 11:05 AM

Maybe to the yard, but sure as hell not while wrenching on drum brakes.

JPersat · 27 March 2009, 11:06 AM

I used to wear my 16613 while I was working on the railroad....switching cars, etc

I have worn my Rolex to a junkyard. I didn't really touch anything though.

aelvin · 27 March 2009, 11:27 AM

i always wear my watch when i work on my car....

theloxmyth · 27 March 2009, 11:35 AM

Yes, and to the ferrous metal recyclers (Tube City, today), the steel mill (USS, yesterday) and every place else I'm at everyday.

I even wear one of them while cracking safes!

No worries!

BUT, unlike you, I leave my CAMERA in the truck.
I wouldn't want anything to happen to IT!

Roselló · 27 March 2009, 11:38 AM

Why not?

Idle Swede · 27 March 2009, 11:40 AM

I buy my parts from the dealer and they're delivered in clean boxes...

biggums · 27 March 2009, 11:48 AM

I wear mine when I'm washing and detailing my Harley's over the years and always concerned about the Rolex hitting and scratching my bike.

I have programed my Rolex brain to be aware of accidents with it like running it along a wall or banging it while working or wrenching. My Rolex goes with me but I am always aware of protecting it. Once in awhile it will stike it against something and it drives me nuts looking for damages.

One time with a new Sub in 1998 I dented the case deep and that hurt.

Zman86 · 27 March 2009, 11:50 AM

I was curious to see what kind of comments I'd get. Theres lots of people who couldnt fathom wearing their expensive watch in any type of situation that may scratch it/get it dirty. Glad to see I'm not the only one whos not afraid of the occasional scratch/blob of grease...As for the camera, I always bring my camera to the yard cause you never know what interesting thing you will find that you will never see again, I found a friends car today that we sent to the wreckers over a year ago, so I took some pics for her...

Idle Swede, I've been under the hood of both an '88 Silver Spur, and a newer Bentley Continental GT, and I must say, I'm certainly happy I dont work on them on a regular basis. I have to say though, the price of those cars is completely worth it just for the craftsmanship and detail that goes into the interiors, I didnt want to get out of either, the price of parts though, I nearly fainted...

lauro13 · 27 March 2009, 11:51 AM

I usually wear a cheap G-Shock any time I go somewhere where I'm going to have to haggle over price. Unless it's buying another watch.

Rebel · 27 March 2009, 12:08 PM

I would. I wear my Expy II everywhere except to bed and to exercise.

polo · 27 March 2009, 12:11 PM

why not wear it everyday you spent good money on it.

txbikerdude · 27 March 2009, 12:32 PM

i wear mine in the shower, does that count?

Trurolexer · 27 March 2009, 12:38 PM

Maybe...

nch209 · 27 March 2009, 01:30 PM

Heck yea I would! Wear it and find some deal!

don't back down now · 27 March 2009, 01:44 PM

My Rolex is always on my persons

Amen brother, Just the other day I dragged my rolex crystal across a painted concrete block wall and had to wipe off my watch and touch up the wall.

Is there a better way to degrease them?

Yeah. It's a watch. I wear it everwhere.

cray-fish · 27 March 2009, 02:30 PM

JJ Irani · 27 March 2009, 04:42 PM
