Watch out for flying submarines!

Took a little ride in a jumpseat today. Was going to upload these from the cockpit, but we descended below 10,000 feet and the WiFi got turned off as per the regs before I could. Wish the pics came out better, but between the turbulence and my iphone camera, I've got all the excuses I need. Sorry, non-natoists, the nato strap rules!

These are amazing times- imagine being at 30,000 ft, snapping pictures of your Rolex, and uploading them from your camera onto TRF...these are the best of times.

I agree- amazing. Communication technology is off the hook these days- what a lay person can do with off the shelf technology. BTW- I have a GMT, but I prefer the simplicity of the Subby. Of course, I NEED a Sea-Dweller so I can know the date...God forbid I should actually remember the date!

He's entitled to his opinion, but he might be blinded by the golden brilliance of his TT GMT.... I like toning down the watch a tad, and the nylon is lot easier to deal with in the close confines. The cognoscenti recognise the Subby, and the even more astute get the Bond reference.

So let's see about today's adventure...where to next? (Y'all have to bear with the world's worst pictures- they don't tell you that you need a decent camera when you get into this...affliction)
