Almost lost my Pam 1B this week !!!

Back from a little vacation on Bornholm in Denmark - it was meant as a trip with some nice walks and having some nice food. But the storm hit hard on Bornholm - so hard that ferries was canceled, and taking a walk along to seaside meant a risk of getting Really wet.Bornholm is the only place in Denmark where there is rocks so I tried to get some shoots with that in.
But I did make some quick photos of my Panerai 1B. And the was lucky that the watch did not get sweet back into the ocean as there came one "mother fuc.." wave as seen on one of the pictures....
It was a close call - but hey - live life and enjoy it.

Here are some of the more normal photos.

Then the almost fatal photo (for the watch) - but it survived.





The some handshoots of the watch in different scenarios.






Hope you enjoy

A savvy, fashion-conscious Mermaid would pounce on it no doubt. I mean, those things are rare, y'know.
