If you're afraid of dings and scratches ... use the 'back' button and don't srcoll down !!!!

Are you sure ???

Last warning ...

This happened to somebody who was mowing the lawn.
He was carefull and took of his watch. Put it on a table and ...
Somehow it fell onto the grass

This was the result after he hit it with his lawnmowing tractor

It used to be a nice Yachtmaster

JoeG · 31 July 2011, 05:56 AM

I should not have scrolled down...What a horror

Dan2010 · 31 July 2011, 05:58 AM

See people, WEAR the freakin watches and stop babying them. If he had never taken it off THIS wouldn't of happened!

SaddleSC · 31 July 2011, 06:03 AM

I think with a Cape Cod cloth, a Scotch Brite pad and a little elbow grease, I could have that watch looking like new in no time.

Otherwise, just wait until you send it in for its 5-year service and the RSC will make it look like new!!!

I have my doubts, but if it does it's going to take a lot more elbow grease than I ever had.

Not much platinum in it.

Hope it was insured. Would insurance even cover an accident like this?

You guys are all sissies, it adds character. Geez, stop whining: "Ohhhhh, is it safe to run my Rolex over with a lawnmower?" It's a Rolex, it can take it! Just get it regulated.

Rolex Junky · 31 July 2011, 06:21 AM

Ouch. Lawnmower 1 : Rolex 0.

Ski Dweller · 31 July 2011, 06:30 AM

Well, it coulda been a Daytona or a Sea Dweller. THAT would have been tragic.

BeekerMuppet · 31 July 2011, 06:30 AM

Next time, keep it on the wrist. It's much safer that way....

Flat4Boxer · 31 July 2011, 06:31 AM

that is sad.

Joey_V · 31 July 2011, 06:33 AM

Lawnmower:1

Rolex: 0

Megalobyte · 31 July 2011, 06:46 AM

I can actually see how a watchwinder could be confused with a lawnmower, they both rotate, and arguably aren't great for the watch's longevity.

blackout · 31 July 2011, 06:58 AM

Naaah! Its just a little scratch! Cape cod and duct tape fixes everything!

scrog10 · 31 July 2011, 07:06 AM

That seems an awful lot of damage for a lawn tractor. When I drive over things they tend to get shot out the side of the machine with a few gouges.
To mangle the case like that I would thought it would take a serious amount of pressure.

mike · 31 July 2011, 07:10 AM

Ok,....it's a little rough. Maybe some Cape Cod cloth?

tfduff723 · 31 July 2011, 07:14 AM

No worries - I'm sure it is still within COSC standards!

chicagofan · 31 July 2011, 07:21 AM

What a tragic end for a Rolex.
