Can I take my Rolex ... YES I CAN

I'm sure some of you may be cringing just reading the title. I'm just having fun with it.

Past few days i have been giving my Exp I a good workout in the ocean while on well deserved R&R trip with my family. Few pictures from the adventures.

I have not taken my watch off since we arrived. Don't be afraid using your Rolex as it was intended to be used.

Cover up your watch!!! I don't trust that turtle. He has a shifty look in his eye.

Also, if you have a companion with you - look out! The dude at the top of pic #3 enjoys a good game of ass grab.

Too much at risk - get the to a safety deposit box!! Those little yellow fish could easily cause a distraction, a rock could scratch it, kelp could sneeze on it!!





Enjoy your trip. :)

The Explorer looks great. What an awesome turtle! What camera did you use to get that?

I've heard human skin can damage a Rolex. Is this true? Body heat can melt the seals too

It cracks me up when people ask those questions. From the OP, AK to the Submariner. The Explorer is designed to take whatever one can dish out.

Rolex themselves even state on an advertisement that they made the Explorer because there are no watch repair shops on the Matterhorn.

Agree - lots happening in those pictures. I focused too much on the turtle. While it didn't grab my watch it bit me when I got into its space. Nothing serious - just a reminder who's house we were visiting. ;-).

Thanks guys. Really enjoying the sun and company. For you who inquired about the camera - iPhone 4S in LifeProof case and a lot of close ups. That turtle was within my reach - well before it bit me and swam away. ;-).
