Sweet!
Also a little trivia: Most of us who fly or travel on Jetliners while wearing our Rolex watches have exposed our watches to Cabin ALtitudes of up to 8000'.. The Cabin is pressurized to 8000'. These watches are STURDY! Al

Makes me sweat just looking at the pics. I can't get three rungs up a ladder without getting dizzy headed. Heights, man ...
Thanks for sharing, though.

A few years back my brother and I climbed a 14000 foot peak in the Rockies. Our watches had no trouble, I'm sure they would also be fine in the vacuum of space. The forces at altitude arnt like the ones in the depths of the ocean....
Cool pics though, I'd love to take a balloon ride someday |
