Where has your watch been?

I just got back from my trip to tokyo. Here is a shot of my Oysterdate on my way to the top and at the top of Mt. Fuji!

Here is what time I arrived at the top :)

Where have you taken yours?

It sure is! I love it! Wasn't sure if they are okay in the rain or not, but I wore it anyway and it did great. Here is another shot of some of the "fun" parts of the climb.

From New York to Moscow my Rolex has traveled with me. It's all good. People look at my old vintage Rolex watches and probably think "old lady, old watch, let's move on and find a new Daytona" : - )

Way too close to an irritable ram in my field.

Amish-run livestock auction.

Lesbian bar in Rehoboth with the best wings.

Movie premiere for charming indie film starring major TV actor.

And soon, to the other side of the globe.

Going to a civil union at Rehoboth beach next month. Never been there. Looks like quite a weekend though. Cocktail party on Fri, ceremony on Sat, and a Sun brunch. Will be wearing all vintage from Rolex, IWC, and Omega!!!!! (All on straps of course!!!).

I recently purchased my Explorer 42 from Dr Alastair Sutcliffe who is a true explorer. Author of the book The Hardest Climb. He's summited Everest amongst others. I hoped that he'd worn the Explorer on his climbs but unfortunately, No, he wore his trusty SUUNTO Instead. He actually flipped for a Daytona. I'm glad I am the recipient of his Explorer anyway.

Worn my SD swimming / diving all over Hawaii, to Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, and now to Afghanistan where it’s keeping incredible time (though not fully utilizing its water resistance specs).

Good luck out there. I spent six months out there in Helmand Province, 2006, with 3 Para Battlegroup. We were constantly under siege by the Taliban. Our Patrol base was nearly overrun on a couple of occasions.

I'm envious...10 yrs. in Tokyo and I've only driven to the 5th station. If I weren't so "banged up," I would have done a early morning clime or two.

My most trusted companion, the Omega SMP, was with me through thick and thin for almost 11 years straight to more than 30 countries and 80 major cities. For 6 years it was on my wrist as a frequent traveler visiting about 3 countries every month in time zones that would make my head spin.

It was subjected to freezing cold and scorching hot climates on a frequent basis and was put to the test every time I worked out or played sports, worked on my car or accidentally banged it against walls or my wife when sleeping . Dropped it on the ocean floor when I took my diving license but otherwise it never left my wrist for about a decade (except during washing ).

It has earned its colors and then some and even though I have now retired it, I will never part with this watch. It has seen life and death, color and darkness, cultural and human diversity beyond that of most people (or watches ) and none of my current watches will ever be able to compete with that

VERY well travelled subs, in excess of 100 mountain summits (most, but not all on Scottish Munros), US, SA, Mid East, quite a few areas of Europe, Falklands, South Georgia, Bermuda. In excess of a few hundred metres underwater numerous times. Not all the same watch though, got to give them all some wrist time!
