Nothing for mountain climbing. You can actually use your smartphone to tell the time (something new ) and save any damage to them! The pm's for your formal dinners. Have fun!

I knew you would wear the Daytona and I think I was right on your wife's watch also.

Platona. It'll get lighter as you go higher.

Seriously, Tom, I think you and the Mrs. could both use a 114270 to double as a mountain climbing/formal watch, but of those pictured, either of the SS models would be my choice.

I wouldn't be taking precious metal anywhere near a mountain. 116710 gets my vote.

Perhaps, you're brighter than the rest of us.
I'm can't think of many surgeons/racing drivers/mountain climbers off the top of my head. I do know an oncologist/rock climber/aerobatic pilot, though. She's the most remarkable woman I've ever met. She took me for a ride in her T-6 once.

We started down near those buildings, pretty good climb for a guy from Tampa that lives at sea level!

Went with my OR crew for team skill building, most including my wife made it half way, one guy started to puke so rest got bummed out.
Only me and my nurse anesthetist made it to the top, it was kinda hard but doable (Had my neck fused two weeks ago because of the Daytona crash so had to kinda take it easy) This was probably the hardest part, I think she was shooting for a Rolex!! |

Two weeks!! I hope you wore the Platona on the contralateral side of your ACF, otherwise, you may have felt some seismic shifting of bone grafts! Of course your Nurse Anesthetist made it! Everyone knows that CRNAs are stud muffins!!!
