Rolex Action Photos?
Anyone have photos to post, showing a Rolex watch in action: Climbing, hunting, scuba diving, traveling, working, racing, motorcycling, shooting, swimming, caving, etc...

YES! A Watch is made to be worn and used, not sit in a safe!

You will trade gold and steel for platinum? Who wouldn't! Actually I think I got the bug worse now, I want another Rolex but I will save a little bit and maybe go all gold.

Apologies - the shutter speed was a too slow for this bit of action:
Slightly better shots:

The hole in the arrow was the result of a misfire. I squeezed the trigger and nothing happened. Thinking that the weapon had failed to load, I tilted it up to pull the slide back, and as I took pressure off the rigger the pistol discharged. Scared the beejezus out of me.

Thanks, JC! I still need a bit of practice, and while this was my first time with a pistol I used to be reasonably handy with an M16. 13 years ago, in the immortal words of a Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Highway, "I can put a round through a fly's ass at 300 metres".

OK. I gotta ask, James. Why did you change shirts between shots? Did you decide the blue was more photogenic with the black pistol?

Nah, the white shirt shot was taken four days later. The photo of the target was taken on the first day, and I tried some rapid shooting on the second session with this result:
