Sub being put through its paces in the abacos
3 week torture test. It's been diving twice the first few days, banged against a hull multiple times, and survived at least 4 rum filled stumbles. Holding up like I expected it to. I did bring my 305 for fill in duty too.

Freaking reef sharks. Got two yellowtail snappers today. Well, half of them.

Happy summertime ya'll.

I'm sort of afraid of live fish. My heart palpated when I saw that one of you kissing a half a fish. *puke*

Good things. Enjoy it and the watches look great. As does the fishing, save for the reef sharks.

Kind of debating taking mine on a 3 day off-shore fishing trip in August. Biggest catch so far was a 35lb bluefin tuna.

Haha! Nah. The sub was at 92 feet the day before. Hell. I've had my dd40 at 80 feet.

I implicitly trust all Rolex in water. Daytonas included.

I've only had one watch issue ever in water. Was a panerai 24 back in 2006 or so.

Well done. Nice to see a watch get used. We live in s fl and fish the Bahamas a few times each year (although usually closer to west end... abacos soon) and I always wear a Rolex when I fish, dive, swim, whatever. They're tanks. Have fun! Looks like a great trip.

Checked in at west end, as usual....oh hell yeah you use these watches. Life's too short to not enjoy them. No way am I tossing on a seiko or g shock during fun times like this. They become part of the memories!
