Sub C's 1st Trip to the Beach

These two pics of my new Sub C's first trip to beach here in San Diego. As a special honor, I removed the last two stickers from each side of the crown guard while under the waves.

As a special treat, you should note the Great White Shark whose ass I kicked for trying to increase his own self worth by attempting to bite my arm off for the Sub. He's breaching just past the break there at 11:00 O'clock position on pic #1

On a more serious note, any discoloration, distortion or apparent damage to watch are water drops. Yes, they distort the view of things. Kinda' like beer goggles, but this water is slightly more salty!

Glad you took her to Disneyland. It always amazes me how many Panzies are to afraid to put the world toughest Diving watch in the drink.

Yep, was sunny the whole day, but about 4PM the clouds rolled in. Funny though, if I would have turned around & faced the other direction all you would have seen were blue sky's!

Austin is my second home. San Diego native, but went to Leander HS. Also own a nice home on the Terravista golf corse in RR!

Every one of my Sub's has been wet from either ocean swimming or recreational diving! In fact, even the Datejust's that I have owned in the past all saw atleast a day in the surf, and many in the pool!

Not one has ever had any issues related to water! O-Y-S-T-E-R

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

Lucky he didn't bite the sub. He would of broken all his teeth on the ceramics, and needed some dentures

Does this mean you wore it with the stickers before?
