Excellent! I use my Rolexes for all house work, car work, yard work, etc etc -- they don't come off and they haven't skipped a beat for years now!

I think when I have a couple more I'll start that trend. For now any of my other watches will do since I could never leave my wrist naked.

Always an awesome story. And in Toronto too! Good to know we have Rolex vets around.
