Is it safe to lawnmove with your Rolex on?>>>>>>>>>
I will say yes, but with it off I will say no.
A lawyer in Denmark would cut his grass when he checked before the start his lawnmower then took off his Yachtmaster and added on top of the engine. Unfortunately, he forgot it and came to grips with the job. Shortly after this he was a loud noise and a loud bang and flying out the watch from the rotating blades. This is how it looked when he gathered the pieces together. Photocredit: Kristian Haagen

Ouch! reminds me of the time I placed my eye-glasses on the small outboard motor of a boat and dove in for a swim. Pull-started the motor, when I got out, and saw something shiny in the water; my glasses sinking to the bottom. Not as bad as mulching your Rolex though, that has to hurt. Time for a service I guess lol.

Very truly unfortunate. Hurts me to see a Rolex like this, even if it's a Yachtmaster that I am not the least bit interested in. Still sad.

I guess the steel is steel after the accident too.

Wear a G-Shock or something sporty and digital to cut the lawn.... Not a flipping Rolex.

A regular service will have it ticking in no time..
I wonder what would RSC say if you send all the pieces and ask them to not over polish the watch..

Is it safe to mow your lawn with your SS Rolex if you got it for an average discount of 20% off from an AD - in Italy?

Maybe the YM qualifies as a "tool" only on a "yacht" of course I have only seen two out on "yachts" are at the club in the last four years of actively looking.. lol
In fact, the two guys who wear the YM's are pretty much considered "tools" themselves around the club... |

Will that be a total write off or still serviceable at RSC?
