Great shots, beautiful watch

Man those are great shots! Noticed the bezel has been turned - Were you timing something in pic # 1?

texex91 · 23 June 2011, 11:31 AM

Love to see the Rolex in the wild--great pics.

My Rolex is my primary bottom timer for diving. My 14060m is my dive tool..........it never is on a bracelet and was purchased for diving. I can honestly say that I do have 1 tool Rolex

See you made a couple dives. Great shots!

We were in Maui 2 weeks ago and dove the Molokini Crater. I bought one of those cheapo plastic case cameras. I got the pics developed and they were garbage!

Threw them and the disc right in the pail in the store. Gonna have to invest in a 'real' camera.

Very Cool, thanks for posting!!!!!

Canon G10 with a Ikelite underwater housing. Most of those point and shoot waterproof cameras are only good to 30ft or so...........would never do for diving. My Ikelite housing is good to 200ft.

Thanks

I have had sand get under a bezel before on another watch. That is the nice thing about the older style Rolex dive watches.........The end user can remove the bezel for cleaning if necessary.

I am not sure what you mean about the NATO hitting the lugs. Mine fits properly.

No strobes. Unfortunately, it wasn't lobster season..........I saw 13 lobster on one dive.

Great pics, Jason...Brings back memories...Prior to getting my Sub in 1961, I was a big-time skin diver. Subscribed to Skin Diver Magazine. Once I had a perforated ear drum because I waited too long to equalize. I still remember the cold water entering my inner ear, and the vertigo.

Awsome! Thanks for taking us along.

Nice pictures! I've got a G11 with an Ikelite housing and strobe. Very cool setup. I just wish I could use it better. Where did you learn to shoot?

Great shots Jason.....
It's always a treat to submerge into the world of underwater creatures....and to photograph them as well as you have, captures the beauty superbly!

Thanks for sharing!

It does look rather Red in some of the shots, but it is actually an Orange MARATAC NATO.

I actually got some tips from a gentleman on the watch forums that helped me immensely. That, and tons of PRACTICE. I try to dive at least 50 dives per year. Last year it was ~ 100.

This was a rather shallow dive. 25-40ft.
