I thought I would share these pictures of my Luminova Red Sub on vacation last month. Here it is with the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau. I hope you enjoy

Tudor66 · 22 October 2011, 10:36 PM

Very nice photo's. Makes me want to get up out of this chair and drive to the snow. Though it would be a very long drive....

nauticajoe · 22 October 2011, 10:51 PM

Nice

yidarmy · 22 October 2011, 10:53 PM

travisb · 22 October 2011, 10:59 PM

Love the backround.

Wow, I really like that watch.

Keeperoftime · 23 October 2011, 02:12 AM

Super Gorgeous!

chicagofan · 23 October 2011, 02:19 AM

Spectacular pics and watch!

Oyster1982 · 23 October 2011, 02:26 AM

Great backround, and great red Sub. I love the thickness of the crystal of the 1680.

Speed · 23 October 2011, 02:50 AM

Great shot.

I must have missed this bit before Jason. Luminova??? So...a service dial, yes?

Eric88 · 23 October 2011, 03:50 AM

I miss that watch! So much that I got another. But not the unobtainium lumi red dial. Great shot!

TSW · 23 October 2011, 04:06 AM

I can see why

Yes, it is an authentic Rolex service dial for a Red Sub. I made a trade with Eric88 for it. It has become one of my most favorite watches.......I love it

DiamondJack · 23 October 2011, 05:34 AM

Looks great Jason and one of the few fully functioning reds in terms of visibility at night out there......

I can't see a bloody thing when I look at mine at night..... So much for originality

Thank you

It was an awesome trip. We took the train up to Jungfraujoch (which many people do) and then hiked up to the hut at Monchsjochhutte at nearly 12,000 feet. We had tremendous weather.

Note the little circle. You can barely see the hut at Monchsjochhutte

Here is a zoomed-in photo of Jungfraujoch and Monchsjochhutte

The cuisine -- They have to take all the supplies up via train and then with a snowcat the last mile or two.

Great looking Pics Jason, thanks for sharing.

Submarino · 23 October 2011, 06:49 AM

Great shots!!!!

wrxsti · 23 October 2011, 06:54 AM

incredibly beautiful, and the view aint too bad either! I have been looking for a vintage red sub, well done.

Jason71 · 23 October 2011, 06:58 AM

Another picture. This one is from the top of Jungfraujoch. It is touted as being "the top of Europe" even though there are a couple other peaks that are higher..........The highest being Mont Blanc in France which we also visited.

yannis · 23 October 2011, 06:58 AM

Great shots and a great watch of course!

Yeager · 23 October 2011, 06:59 AM

Before I read your post, I thought, WOW, that looks like the Eiger from the Clint Eastwood movie...then I read it...

I love that movie...great book too

HL65 · 23 October 2011, 07:02 AM

Great pics Jason!!

Lol-x · 23 October 2011, 07:08 AM

Those photos are great

BaltimoreBrian · 23 October 2011, 07:17 AM

Jason, I am just going to echo what everyone else has said... Beautiful Red Sub and Beautiful Pics. Thanks for sharing.

Seeing you red sub owners taking great pics with a super Rolex just makes me want a Red Sub even more so I can join the club.

Question for you all: At one time, if a Red Sub was sent to Rolex for service, Rolex was replacing the face with a white one? But they changed that and now all original Red Sub face watches get a Red dial replacement, if sent to Rolex for service and they deem it necessary to replace?

The dial on Jason's looks beautiful.

brkanand · 23 October 2011, 07:25 AM

With those snow capped peaks in the background, picture is superb.

Honestly, I put this watch through some active hiking, diving, and elevation changes on this trip. It went to:

12,600 feet on Mont Blanc in France
11,975 feet at Jungfraujoch in France
115 feet underwater diving in the Mediterranean diving off Riomaggiore, Italy
7,467 feet on Jenner Mountain in Berchtesgaden, Germany with views of Hiltler's Eagle's Nest.

I believe in using my watches

Anyone want to see some more pictures from these other places??
