I am a resident ER doc in the hospital depicted by the show E.R.

I wear any and all my watches there... sometimes a patient notices the watch and they comment, "That's a very nice watch.."

To which I slide my sleeve over it and say, "Yeah..."

I tried going to work wearing a simple Swiss Army work watch, but I end up missing my nicer ones - so I just wear 'em.

I am a corrosion control technician. My job entails using cathodic protection (rectifiers, galvanic anodes) to mitigate corrosion on underground facilities; in my case, natural gas pipelines. Been doing it for about 6 years now, working in the industry for about 14.

New to the club, and 14 pages into a topic will anyone even see this. I am currently a Project forman for a large electrical contractor, (electrician), We also compete in NHRA drag racing with a 1964 big block Chevelle that I built. at 47 managed to do a few thing, Traveled the world and went to college while in the United State Marine Corps, Limited practice officer and escrow officer at a company I managed for a while. You guys that run small business, well my hats off to you.

I wear mine to work rarely. a little rough for the 18k daydate. So far I have found favor with the race gods, I think they like the watch. I do wear mine while racing.
