Great pics JJ. Looks like you guys had a blast.

I love water slides.

Hey JJ:

Great photo's mate. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful family.

BTW did you test your Breitling Crosswind in the thermal waters?

Steve

Uncle-AJ · 7 January 2006, 08:48 PM

Nice pictures JJ.

I hope they changed the water after you had been in.

padi56 · 7 January 2006, 10:11 PM

Great pictures JJ love the water

JJ, thanks for ensuring we only see your head, while you're in a swimsuit... and for having the other pic of you on the slide somewhat obscured.

I'd have trouble sleeping otherwise.

Good question, Tardis, but I make it a point NEVER to wear any watch during water activities. Scratched up a Sub very badly once whilst swimming - hit it against the solid plastic lane divider.

...and, Johnny & Adrian, the two of you are tossers as always!!

Great pics, JJ. Looks like a fun time was had by all.

ralphieralph · 8 January 2006, 08:49 AM

Cool pics!You guys must have had a blast!!

dman · 8 January 2006, 11:25 AM

Great pics Baldie, very cool. Looks to be a great time. I see Nina took off her Rolex to swim, did you?

And please tell me you did not go down the slide with the shades on?

No watches whilst swimming, Daren...and no glasses whilst coming down that shute at over a hundred miles an hour!!

You should have seen the splash I made!!!

Yeah, and blinded ten kids with the glare off your bald dome.

Did you know that most Rolex are waterproof JJ?

...but certainly not damage proof. If you read one my earlier posts, I wore a Sub once at the pool and damaged it on the plastic rings of the lane divider. After that, I've sworn never to wear a watch in the pool...too risky!!

That is why those deep sea divers searching ship wrecks don't wear their Subs either, JK!

Just yanking your chain, but if you had a 16610, I am sure it would be tough enough to handle the waterslides.

Tough enough, yes....but not scratch proof or damage proof. I would NEVER wear any watch on those slides. Man, you have no idea how bloody fast you start to come down.

You are completely at the mercy of gravity and have absolutely no control once you let go at the top. It's a roller-coaster ride on your ass and back and when you come out of the hole, you're flying through the air like a projectile before the big splashdown!!!

dman · 8 January 2006, 03:08 PM

For some gravity pulls harder than for others JJ.

mailman · 8 January 2006, 08:23 PM

I'm just happy JJ didn't post pics of himself wearing a Speedo

Now JJ, I can see your point in not wanting to wear a watch on the water slides, but in a swinning pool? You just have to be more careful. Unless you took the hologram off, which would make any Rolex non-waterproof.

Yeah, that and the fact that your fake YM would probably leak and ruin the Chinese movement.......
