Enjoy Jacob! I've never been to the Swiss Alps but been through the Austrian Alps and the Dolomites in Italy. Absolutely beautiful!

Where are you? Thanks for sharing. I love the Swiss Alps......Well, any big mountains honestly. This is from a couple years ago in the Swiss Alps.

Nice - the Jungfrau Massif. When I was there I was wearing a Breitling, so unfortunately no Rolex wristies.

OP: Great shot! Explorer II is perfect for mountain excursions. Just ask Ed Viesturs!

The perfect accessory for the swiss alps for me would have 2 or 4 wheels and preferably turbocharged... but definitely the rolex is a given in either of these scenarios :)
