I'm heading off on a fishing trip to the Barrier Reef this Friday for a week. We will be living on a charter boat 90kms off the coast sheltered by the reef. Fishing will be done on 16ft centre console dory's so you can get close to the reef. We usually catch some big fish and there is a chance of my watch being banged around a bit.
So the question is .
Should I wear my SS sub ( that's what its built for right?)
or my Seiko Solar Diver ?

Speed · 1 November 2011, 10:31 AM

Either.

nauticajoe · 1 November 2011, 11:25 AM

Either one would work.

Have fun!

yannis · 1 November 2011, 11:26 AM

"Tres facile", take both: the Seiko for casual fishing, the Rolex for formal fishing.

Z-Sub · 1 November 2011, 01:43 PM

I would bring the sub but from what you've described, you sounded a bit worried of the chance the sub can get dinged....so seiko is safer bet.
