Doing what it says on the tin.
Hi all,

I am relatively new to the forum; and see lots of posts- "should I wear my rolex to go running in etc"....

Which are great questions; but thought it would be good to start a thread that shows the Rolex 'sports watches' doing what they were meant to do!

So,

if you have;

a Submariner under water;

an Explorer, on a mountain....

an Explorer 2 on a glacier...

a Daytona at the race track....

a Milguass in the lab....

a Yacht master on a boat...

a GMT master in a cockpit...

Heres a starter: Explorer 2 on Jostedalsbreen Icecap, Norway.

Poor quality pictures welcome!

Does a GMT at my office desk count?
That's the only adventure I get most days.
Great idea for the thread!!

Brilliant, this is what the watches were made for.

It will be great to see if we can get pictures of TRF members wearing their watches in as many locations/environments as possible....

Not the Himalayas, and I'm sure Red Rocks is a canyon as opposed to a mountain. But either way, it'll hurt real bad if you fell. Here you go!

Btw, I know this is a "Rolex" thread but, I'm waiting for someone to post a picture a Speedmaster in its true environment! Haha
