You’d be better off posting MANY more pictures while you are camping, you know to compare after to see if it took any damage.

Everyone seems thrilled with their new BLROs. Not one instance of buyer’s remorse.

I’ve done far more dangerous/stupid things with my 16710. The one thing to guard against is taking it off and leaving it in a rock somewhere. I don’t know why anyone would take it off, but it happens. Ya get to your car to go home, glance at your wrist to check the time, and that dreadful feeling kicks you right between the eyes. “Aw crap! Now I have to hike back to the campsite.”

No ifs or buts with the Pepsi you can tell it’s a Rolex from a mile away . As you said the word Fun probably sums it up.

No sir. But I was sorely tempted to bring up the GTS. The roads up here are super smooth. But the 5 hour drive and the need for space, and my wife out her foot down.

Either way, I like that guys style. And love the car. But this is us.

Just about the only non American vehicle here.

No remorse.

Enjoying it more everyday. Way more than I expected.

Ok. So today we did the pool.

And the lake. It survived a pontoon boat too. Played redneck horseshoes and we ate some chicken.

It’s still working.

So far the watch has experienced frigid waters of the cooler.

And the hellish heat of the bbq.

We’ve traversed the playground.

And we’ve slept without A/C.

We even survived a rainstorm.

Today is the final day.

Hoping we can both pull through. The rigors of the day appear to potentially be too much. Hoping for the best. Wish us luck.
