Geeze. You guys make us work-from-home types jealous. The most dangerous thing around here is a door jamb...

It's a lot more treacherous working at my house. There is always imminent danger of stepping on a Lego while barefoot. I am in the process of negotiating hazard pay with my employer...

I'm an inspector at an aeronautics company.
I usually wear my casio GShock but I'm tempted to wear my seamaster PO wich I Recieved from the service center. I'm always careful but if I end up scratching it I'd hate myself. When doing paperwork it's fine but when I'm inspecting actual parts...
Maybe I'll do it just once... If I cave in. Lol.

If you wear it just once you'll be nervous, you will not be paying attention to your work, and you will still scratch it just because you were not paying attention. And you'll hate yourself sure. If you wear it every day -- it's just a watch damnit, available from many outlets, some legitimate -- you might scratch it, but what the hell? "My watch, my scratches." I used to mechanic race and rally cars and would dive underneath if there was urgency without a thought. Sure I'd try to take my Heuer off -- that's a Jack Heuer Heuer -- if there was time and if I had safe place to put it (forest stages on the RAC Rally, put it on the ground anyone?) but it survived.

And it was on one of those "flimsy" "light" 1960's bracelets. That one had to go to Hong Kong to get its broken springs from nearly 30 years of hard use replaced. Never fell off my wrist though 👍

How that went? Did you refuse? I think I'll just say a price 30% above my cost and pray he won't go for it
I told him it was a gift from my Dad and that it's not (or ever will be) for sale.
I did get a nice bonus and a raise later that year so I assume there was no grudge.
