Just curious to know what watch you beat on. I have two that I wear for work. I am an appliance technician (I really am one of the Maytag Men) and beat the hell out of my hands and watches. I wear a Casio for days when the work will be extra rough and a Pulsar when it its only normal. And yours is.......................?

G-Shock also. When doing chores or setting or gaging other watches accuracy.

Reckon it would be the first Invicta I bought in 2002. For really tough stuff, a G-Shock GW 300.

Been wearing this Casio while working on Pinewood Derby cars:



Plenty of sawdust, paint, glue, wood putty etc., which I don't want anywhere near my automatics!

For gigs (I play drums) I use either my G-Shock or my Marathon Navigator, good illumination for dark clubs:





I have other quartz to beat on, I try to avoid autos when I am playing drums.  I scraped the hell out of my orange Monster's bezel at practice once and had to replace it...never again!

Cheers,
Griff

This was my beater for years..day in and day out!  Don't really have one now.



This took a pretty good beating too for several years!

I beat on this nearly every day, and it shows. coyote2.gif



I've got a feeling that the Nivrel will soon be brushed up.


Would like to have a Glycine to beat on as well.Bouncy.gif

Used the Orsa Jr. to shovel the driveway after a 20.4" snowfall in Columbus. That's a new all time record. I have  to call my chiropractor Monday morning. coyote2.gif
