We all get a bit crazy and careful about our watches; me included. But some just need to be worn like they are suppose to.

Love it!

Wear in good health!

Looks a bit tight though.

oneillba · 26 July 2021, 01:12 PM

A little tight perhaps?

10XRolex · 26 July 2021, 01:41 PM

Not at all. My wrist is bent backwards as I'm holding onto the edge of the patio under the paper.

I agree. A well worn watch is a watch worn well.

Geckobros · 26 July 2021, 02:09 PM

Your watch.

PBJ1925 · 26 July 2021, 03:48 PM

Enjoy it!

peterpl · 26 July 2021, 03:51 PM

Wow - glad you can do this with your watches.

I couldnt even do this with my Casio. LOL

Frank McKay · 26 July 2021, 05:04 PM

If you were in a cockpit yeah but a GMT for a plumbing project ? I don’t know man Lol. Best of luck tho!

Harry-57 · 26 July 2021, 08:06 PM

I wouldn't wear mine that tight.

Boaters · 26 July 2021, 08:12 PM

Hell yea looks good no harm to the watch

joe&joe · 26 July 2021, 08:14 PM

GMT is supposed to be an airline pilot / traveller watch...
For such activity if you need a purpose built Rolex an Explorer II is definitely a better fit!

"The way it's supposed to be worn"...

Actually, that ought to be the general idea adopted in picking a watch for purchase. One's occupation should play a factor too.. But I think to most, purchase is more of a show off of one's wealth or just following the trend.

brandrea · 26 July 2021, 08:28 PM

Did you fix what ever was going on there?

There should be a Rolex Cave-Dweller for this job.

Benzsiam · 26 July 2021, 10:04 PM

This is the real tool watch, good job.

11b1p · 26 July 2021, 10:06 PM

Hope you fixed whatever happened, looks messy.

Chiboy · 26 July 2021, 10:23 PM

Looks like your fixing underground sprinklers... Don't ask me how I know.

WILLIWALKER · 26 July 2021, 10:46 PM

Yeah !!! Love it !

GoingPlaces · 26 July 2021, 10:47 PM

Not sure about "supposed" to be worn, but yes it can be worn this way. GMT's were intended "or supposed" for pilots and travelers. Looks a bit tight.

Golfbone · 26 July 2021, 11:37 PM

I wear my Sub as a beater basically and do all kinds of things with it but I must say that when it comes to digging, lifting rocks, dirt etc. you really do want to be kind of careful because it's easy to ding up a watch in a way that is very noticiable when you start getting into metal tools, rocks, dirt, lifting things. I messed up a Patek once when I got carried away fixing something with the watch on forgetting that I had it on my wrist and regret that to this day. Now I'm a bit more careful. I used to have a datejust that I never took off my wrist for 10 years straight and it didn't show dings and scratches at all but that's not the case for many other other pieces and I learned this the hard way.

prharm25 · 26 July 2021, 11:57 PM

Looks like a 1675? I did that with mine 25 years ago…now a days I baby it…still looks great.

envuks · 27 July 2021, 12:07 AM

I hope that’s mud. Looks a little “rich” :-)

I suppose you wore your best suit, tie and shoes too?

Finslayer83 · 27 July 2021, 12:45 AM

folks it's just a watch.

Like slamming a nice steel thing into kydex makes certain groups cringe.

I also use my nicer hammer over the others working on the Jeep / Toyota!
