My second wife caught me wearing Lorus at work and that was the end of that marriage.

I work in an industrial construction environment and have worn an EXP2 for the last 12 years. Apart from two damaged crystals and the watch totally stopping once it has held up fine. If I hadn't discovered TRF I'd still be wearing the EXP2.

I am in Malaysia at the moment and due to start a site installation project in Jakarta on Monday. My watch of choice is now a $100 Seiko.

How did you manage to stop your watch ?

Nothing wrong with being prudent. I'll bring a Hammy beater along with my GMT if scratches are probable just in case.
