My first Rolex picture post - nice combination

Here's one of my first posts with pictures. I thought I would include two Rolexes in my first photo. My family and I attended the Ginn Tribute in Charleston, SC last week. When I saw the Rolex clock, my wife looked at me and said "don't even think about it." I did it anyway and asked to her to take a quick picture before they ran me off the driving range. I know you can't see it but I'm wearing my GMT Master IIc.



I'll continue to read some of Jocke's postings on pictures to learn more. I thought this would be a good start. Love that Rolex clock.

Looks like you could pick that clock up and take it with you.

Thanks for posting great shots. By the way, Jocke takes great photos, but if we all posted photos like Jocke it could get boring after a while, variety is the spice of life. Every picture tells its own story. So don't try to be like someone else, use your own unique style.

Nice pic, John. Would have been better if you'd have climbed up that pole and sat on top of the Rolex clock!!

Very nice pic, John! My wife says the same thing too when I whip out a camera to snap a quick pic of anything with my Rollie.

I also love the "2,000 ft = 200 m" depth rating and the "OCC" underneath it!

Unbelievable that the pic derives from the "holy bible" site doubleredseadweller.com!

I hope you have shatter proof glass on the dials, because if they got hit by a golfball, that could be an expensive repair
