I wear my Rolex divers diving in the ocean cave diving motorcycle riding etc.. I'd be especially embarrassed as a diver to not have that on my wrist and in the hotel safe instead, just doesn't make sense to me any other way.

Just examples. I use a watch to wear and enjoy. Not as an “investment” or for resale. Care not about getting scratches. When they go in for service I’m happy to get the dreaded “polish”.
That's pretty cool!

I think this picture is uncalled for and in poor taste. Simply disgusting. Mods should delete.

Heh, says the guy who also says “there is an all-out war in this country against the wealthy” and doesn’t appear to be joking. Seems we are disgusted by different things.

Due to forum rules, pics can’t be posted. A Ballistic Engineer has me playing with all kinds of toys. Other enthusiast will appreciate what Rolex and a .50 BMG is.

I’ve worn my Date that I got in 1978 many times scuba diving to depths up to 120 ft., to 20 below skiing in Colorado to sky diving to fishing around the world to working on construction sites in my 20’s. The watch still works great after all these years.

The most extreme part of this is trusting the student long enough to snap the pic.
