    I think there are more specialist forums for that sort of thing?

    Love it. Looks in pretty good condition for a true daily beater :)

    But, but, but... you didn’t ask the forum if it would be ok to paint whilst wearing your Rolex.

    So, "Face like a painter's Rolex" is now a thing?

    But what sort of paint were you using??? I hope you were using something suitably expensive to splash on your Rolex - you'll get banned from Rolex ownership if you were using cheap stuff!

    Crikey, I take my watch off when washing a few cups.

    If that happened to me, I'd be overcome with emulsion

    Isopropanol wipes might do the trick? or keep it as it is, as a Jackson Pollock limited edition :D

    I’m guessing ‘elephants breath’ from the Farrow and Ball heritage collection

    That’s exactly the paint it was and I can tell you I’ll not make a painter as I think I got more on my face than the wall however possibly that is
