My goofball father in law....

He’s a master photographer, now retired at 86 years old. Until recent years he was the absolutely biggest prankster/joker ever. April 1st was his personal holiday. We were going through some old studio pix recently and came across this gem. He was obviously shooting some serious bodybuilders and decided to toss his shirt and jump in for a pose.

After a good laugh I noticed the watch he was wearing. 5-digit Polar Explorer II?

Perhaps someone with better eyes/knowledge here can confirm.

In any event, it was good for a chuckle.

Certainly looks like a polar to me. That photo is hilarious.

Unfortunately, being the least materialistic guy, all he remembers is that he had a Rolex back in the day. He’s not even sure where it is now.
