Would love to get a Rolex GMT. But all model has black/dark dials. Im looking for a Rolex GMT with white dial. The only choice is Explorer which is not my cup of tea. Although it might look nice if I switch the bracelet to leather strap.

During the same trip, I flipped my Exp II Polar for a new SubC. I'm starting to miss it quite a bit. I'm already on the lookout for a good pre loved one to buy. This Rolex bug is getting too much haha

That's a good view point with a quaint snack/ice cream shack. Excellent shot, last time I was there could barely make out Fujisan since it wasn't clear enough. Congrats and enjoy the trip.

We were pretty lucky to see Mt Fuji on our 3rd attempt. She's indeed a very shy mountain. It was definitely worth the effort, as it's an awesome sight !

Very nice pic! I was on the Shinkansen and went to the toilet for two minutes and missed it. It happened when I was a kid but we still talk about it today.

Good pics. I climbed Fuji-san many years ago. The airline lost my climbing stick with all the stamps burned into it.

Nice shot and BLNR too. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you were viewing from Kawaguchi Lake, from atop the ropeway? That spot to me is the best in Japan to take in all of Fujisan. And next time, try spring or fall to see the beautiful snow crown. And then there is winter, when Fujisan is snow-white from top to bottom. Magnificent, and the white would make a good contrast with the BLNR.

Kawaguchi Lake, spot on! I've seen photos of the place during various other seasons and I agree with you, they are magnificent. I definitely want to go back again.
