As WIS we tend to categorize watches: Subs are for diving, GMTs are for those that travel the globe, etc. But the truth is, a modern Rolex is up to 99% of anything we throw at it.

My gf and I escaped out of the city for a weekend getaway in Rhinebeck, NY where we spent our days doing some awesome hikes. Through snow, 10* wind-chill, and some impromptu rock climbing I wore my Daytona the whole time and it served its purpose well!

I know the Explorer is constantly mentioned as the one-watch GADA, but I'd say a Daytona is more than capable.

Nice shot and a beautiful watch

-lenny- · 20 February 2018, 11:13 AM

Nice shot! Love the watch!

Mystro · 20 February 2018, 11:14 AM

Looks perfectly at home. Certainly could be your one and only.

brandrea · 20 February 2018, 11:15 AM

Great shot Dan

Perfect watch to time how quickly that wolf pack is heading your way

Max16013 · 20 February 2018, 11:22 AM

gorgeous, if only it had the white dial though :D

laxplyr85 · 20 February 2018, 11:32 AM

Nice

nikesupremedunk · 20 February 2018, 11:42 AM

That looks awesome especially on the oyster flex. I'd wear that combo almost anywhere too.

fskywalker · 20 February 2018, 12:26 PM

fedabetis · 20 February 2018, 01:19 PM

A watch is about the entire package, not just its appearance. Any large watch company not making its own movement is not making a watch at all; they’re just playing dress-up. --The Watch Snob

nice.

at least its not a lousy Zenith Daytona.

It’s all great fun ‘til the rock hits you in the glass.
Both the Daytona and the Explorer are robust and should go 99% like you said.
But the repair on a Daytona starts at $1,000 for a calamity, while the Explorer is much less.

It’s all in the risk you’re willing to take. I learned the hard way firsthand at the track

aandrianto · 20 February 2018, 02:54 PM

Wow... stunning

sensui · 20 February 2018, 03:22 PM

KNY · 20 February 2018, 07:38 PM

That's just madness! Whats next, driving fast with a Milgauss? What is this world coming to?

Seriously though, love the watch and the exploring

JRT · 20 February 2018, 07:53 PM

Looks stunning!

Gharddog03 · 20 February 2018, 08:02 PM

Nice!

WBA_Daytona · 20 February 2018, 08:10 PM

Beautiful combo! Black for the watch and white for the snow.

Kostas · 20 February 2018, 08:12 PM

Sure looks at home exploring , you can even time how quick you could get out of there if a yeti appeared !

1William · 20 February 2018, 09:48 PM

Very nice.

Chiboy · 20 February 2018, 10:40 PM

As long as you don't lift weights, swim or shower with it, you should be ok.

Glad you're enjoying your beautiful watch!

That sentence is MONEY!

Plus a SS Daytona on oyster flex is too cool of a combo to be a safe queen. I like your mentality!

Rebel · 20 February 2018, 11:44 PM

Sweet.

AK797 · 21 February 2018, 12:07 AM

Ceramic bezel and rubber strap, that thing is bulletproof, even in PM.
