Doing what it says on the tin.
Hi all,
I am relatively new to the forum; and see lots of posts- "should I wear my rolex to go running in etc".... Which are great questions; but thought it would be good to start a thread that shows the Rolex 'sports watches' doing what they were meant to do! So, if you have; a Submariner under water; an Explorer, on a mountain.... an Explorer 2 on a glacier... a Daytona at the race track.... a Milguass in the lab.... a Yacht master on a boat... a GMT master in a cockpit... Heres a starter: Explorer 2 on Jostedalsbreen Icecap, Norway. Poor quality pictures welcome! |

Does a GMT at my office desk count?
That's the only adventure I get most days. Great idea for the thread!! |

As long as you are in a seaplane, you should be fine.

Not the Himalayas, and I'm sure Red Rocks is a canyon as opposed to a mountain. But either way, it'll hurt real bad if you fell. Here you go!
Btw, I know this is a "Rolex" thread but, I'm waiting for someone to post a picture a Speedmaster in its true environment! Haha |

Car shots allowed also... Especially Daytona's....but an explorer in a defender is close... |

So I suppose the picture should be of a guy with a DD, looking baffled about what activity he's supposed to be doing. Maybe trying to remember what day it is. |
