Sub almost went in the sea today.......

I don't usually post many pics but we were at Chesil beach (Dorset, UK) today and I almost went for a swim with my 14060M for the first time..........but water just a bit too cold !!

As you can see it was pretty busy there

Have been alternating it with my 16570 Exp 2 Polar but must admit the 2-liner is my favourite and has had far more wrist time this summer.

Oh yes, not far at all! Tough luck on the BAR yacht I also fell victim to a failed wrist shot at the hands of BAR last year at the Americas cup

I'm jealous, enjoy this weather whilst it's here

When did Rolex start making watches you could swim with ? It certainly wasn't like that up North !

I misread your post. I thought I was going to see a thread about you almost losing your Sub in the sea! Phew!!

We're just back from a week in Pembrokeshire. Beautiful beaches but not that warm...

The Sub got wet AND survived

Great photo.

Now get your chicken ass into that water and let the sun breath in its natural environment.
