Wow! That’s not fair. Up north, we signed up for this stuff. Isn’t it supposed to be golf, bikinis & rum down there?

Thanks. I have put my Rolex watches through so many winters of snowblower that anytime anyone asked about vibration and Rolex, I gotta show them these pics. Rolex is a tough automatic.

I wear mine all the time. I’ve played golf so many times in my DJ2 I can’t even count and it has been -1 spd since I’ve owned it. I didn’t pay what I paid for my Rolexes to NOT wear them. They are tough as nails.

Almost lost it in the bushes. Compacted a shelf and tried again. Anything for a decent pic!

It's not a blizzard and it was a few years back, but in the spirit of the moment, here's my BLNR in some snow.

A foot and a half of snow on top of my grill. I’m ready for Spring!

Well, that view looks familiar. 19” in this photo, but I think we had closer to 20”.

Watch was the Milgauss GV.
