I'm not diving and will not either in the future.

I use it when I'm in my bath, though, to compute the time and not stay too long ...

Never swam deeper than a couple of feet with a Submariner- I just happen to like it's classic design :)

Yeah, I’m afraid of this. I always fee so rushed putting in gear when commercially diving, but I plan on wearing my 114060 on my next dive from home.

More gratuitous water photos...



Insanely blue water in Malta.

I just got my Sub in March so I haven't had the chance to dive with it. My old GMT 1675 has been all around the world with me and I have dived with it several times.

How many GMT owners have never gone flying?

How many Daytona owners have never driven a race car?

How many Milgauss owners have never worked with scientific equipment?

I was happily wearing my "Hulk" whilst snorkeling at Local island when i happened to get chatting to another guy who noticed my watch. He said that he used to wear his Rolex all the while when he went swimming in the ocean and always gave it a thorough rinse in fresh water until one day he came to swap the rubber strap for a new one but couldn't remove the spring bars as the mechanism had rusted together inside. They had to be sawn off in the end. Lucky It wasn't an oyster bracelet eh?
