So there are tons of threads asking "can I"? with my Rolex on.

This, I think, covers a lot of them......and then some.....not necessarily in order......

1. Went through the airport metal detectors (both ways).
2. Went through customs (both ways).
3. Took a taxi ride through the country side of Barbados
4. Went swimming in the ocean
5. Went swimming in the pool
6. Went into a steam room
7. Went into a sauna
8. Went running on the beach
9. Swam with sea turtles
10. Had a hard core workout or two
11. Experienced a super shady deal for illegal things (not me)
12. Went shopping in high end watch shops.
13. Went dancing
14. Had a massage
15. Started up a few conversations about watches with random people
16. Went sailing & Speedboating
17. Practiced hand stands.

I think that covers most of it. Some pics below.

The tudor is from 1974. I was completely blown away with how awesome it was. Serviced twice.

Does it need to be serviced now? Does this hasten the time frame for a service??

You also didn't tell us whether you polished the watch or kept it on a watch winder.

I can't remember last week, so it must have been good,
or I'm finally losing my mind.

brother. i actually thought of you while posting that. my assumption is the watch fund i am building back up will actually turn in to a ring fund rather soon.

we have been on and off for a long time, but on pretty strong. and this trip was for my 40th. i think it is time and it feels right.

Same taste in watches......looks like very similar taste in the fairer sex too.....

Best of luck with the ring fund.......
