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

W-w-what? You mean like take it off the winder? You mean...actually take it outside???

This is some kinda trick, right?

leopardprey · 27 December 2006, 01:27 PM

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

colemanitis · 27 December 2006, 02:09 PM

Someone around here has a cool sky-diving pic. I can't remember who, though...

colemanitis · 27 December 2006, 02:12 PM

Does this count as an action shot?

Alcan · 27 December 2006, 02:14 PM

Driving upwind in about 8 knots of wind. Things are a bit more lively in 20+ knots:

I KNOW!!!!! Any chance you could convince my bank manager of that?

I'd trade that perfect, just overhauled, N serial TT Sub with everything except the original sales receipt for a Plat/SS YM in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

Nope, can't see the speedo. You were probably parked for that shot.

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.

As one of the top Tossers on this forum, my Rollies do see plenty of action....but if I post those pics then the mods would have to ban me!!!

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

Slightly better shots:

JJ Irani · 27 December 2006, 06:14 PM

"Sinewy" shots, James!

Yeah, it was my first time firing a pistol and I found this to be the most comfortable grip, although I figure I'll have to refine it over time (and yes, my hands aren't all that big

). Still and all, I'm not too displeased with my results:

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.

Nice shooting, pard!

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?

Gedanken · 27 December 2006, 11:41 PM

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:
