My most extreme pass time is mountain biking and I still wear my Sub at all times, I've been amazed at how it looks after 3 big crashes that have broken several bones. I did once lose my Sub in the bottom of the sea when the clip came loose whilst kiteboarding!

What's your sport?

I was swimming at a Beach an year ago when I was caught by a huge wave. My datejust clasp opened and I almost lost it!

Since them I use my Breitling for sport-related timekeeping. ;0)

Cheers,
Walter

Yes I know exactly where I lost the watch. I have spent some time on the beach looking for it at various tide times. I'm keeping the location secret though! It's like a new hobby of mine when I'm bored!

My nice watches are always safely stored in the safe while I'm out MTB'ing. I don't deal with watch damage very well

Casio G-Shock takes on time keeping duties

I am an avid runner and cyclist (road and mountain) but never wear my Rolex working out. I need the stop watch function so I use the tried and true Timex Ironman watch. I also do a lot of rock climbing, kayaking and skiing and I leave the Rolex at home for these sports as well. Don't want to dmage my watches.

You must really hate your body.

I never understood how people can find it amazing to crash their bones just to say "I am really into extreme sports"...

Good luck
Tom
