Today had been a long day in the workshop, partly finishing off building it, and partly doing some work on something I'm making. I know there are people here who consider a Greubel Forsey single-tourbillion a beater (they keep the multi-whatsit one for best) but I never wear a watch when I 'm doing manual work - partly because I've given a few real beaters a beating too many (wanna see what a broken-off chunk of metal spat out by a grindwheel can do to a Swatch?
), partly from a safety point of view (less to snag) and partly because of comfort (grit, dust, metal filings etc under the strap).
...though I did strap on a vintage GS after showering and before collapsing in front of a DVD. Hope this counts
