If it were a DSSD there may have been a need for a lawnmower repairman.

Never again will i baby my Rolex. my friends think I'm crazy, I wear my GMT IIc surfing until it time to trunk it. Still looks new. Took it to the CO river jet skiing. Got a couple of scratches, brought home took it to my AD in 1 hour it looked like new again. Rolex s a tool watch, it can take about anything but a lawn mower, or chipper. Anyway thats why you insure it!!!

My watch does me no good in the watch winder!

Kind regards,
DK

I guess this answers the question...."Is it safe to to use the lawnmower with my Rolex on?" The answer is YES! His YM would still be in one piece if he kept it on his wrist.

What's left would look good in a block of Lucite and would serve as a reminder to be more careful next time.

My condolences to the owner, however. That must have been some sick feeling hearing that thing go clunk, clunk, clunkity, clunk.
