Case Holder Giveaway!!
Earlier this year I gave away a Nato strap when I ordered the wrong color.
http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=191956 Hongninja was the winner and we saw some amazing pictures from the members. Well I've had an extra case holder from Amazon sitting in a drawer for a few months and decided to do another give away rather than let it sit. Maybe some of you could use it.   As for the giveaway, here are the details. Post a pictures of the most extreme conditions your Rolex has ever seen. It can be skydiving, hiking, diving (yes you can get them wet you nannies), climbing. Hell, it can even be golfing since that's been a common topic lately. You can only enter 1 time and must post a picture. I will let my wife pic the winner she is stuck on bed rest for 10.5 more weeks. The winner will be picked 1 week from today and I'll mail it to you at my expense. Post away guys and gals.   Matt Here is mine- Explorer II Polar- It was a nice day today 83 and sunny so I took it out of the safe into the garden for the first time. It was scary taking it outside as these watches are made to sit in safes and not be worn.  After a few minutes I got worried and RAN back inside. I'm glad I did not hurt it.  Tomorrow I am thinking about taking another risk and washing my hands with it on my wrist.

Okay, I'll bite! Last summer, I spent every weekend from May to August cleaning, caring for and rehabing the Louisiana birds affected by the oil spill. I don't take my Datejust off. So I cleaned and mucked around in bird poop, I cleaned water pools, tube fed angry baby pelicans, and the photo shows me in my official BP photo, mucking about adjusting water hoses in the Laughing gull pen. You have to look close to see the Rolex, and I wore my Tag hat, because I didn't want to ruin my Rolex hat. Hehehe. One of my friends even joked about me wearing a watch with diamonds to work...hehehe. It is a tough watch!
Not very flattering.....but I am trying to win here :)  Here is the watch....(aftermarket diamond bezel)

In a moment of utter madness the other evening I left it too close to the sink while washing up and this happened. Yes, that's water
 I'm arranging for it to go back to Rolex for a full service and reseal. They say I might have got away with it but impossible to tell until they open it up. I can't believe I was so stupid. |

Racing in a regatta a couple of years ago, forgot my timer for the start and had to rely on my Sub.

This is probably the toughest condition my GMT has ever been in, exposed to -30 degrees in my home town:
   I'm the Michelin guy!

I don't think it gets more extreme than my 2 year old daughter holding my Sub where it could easily hit the floor of my boat or even worse, go over board!

Only after posting this did I see that I missed the contest. Oh well. A photo of me doing "Bunny Ears" on a soldier in Beijing a few years ago, two-tone black Sub:
