SD4k in the African Bush
I read some threads where some TRFers ask if it is safe to wear a Rolex outside their living room.

This is my point of view...

Well - how did it end? Was it safe?

Need to ask, since the last images show no watch...

All I see is a watch surrounded by Lions hiding waiting to eat the wearer. Africa = get eaten by lions......yes I know irrational fear of Africa.

You see those big cages people see great whites in, is there one of those for me in africa, lol.




Awesome photos by the way, run....

Cool pictures. The green SUV in your picture is a Lexus GX in the US. Amazing what the SUV is capable of in the wild!

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I'm by sure if I'd have the balls to wear a fancy watch in that part of the world.
