I'm glad you liked my photo of my rolex 5513 - but at the same time I did some shoots of my SD (16600) and GMT (1675).

It is fun to have 3 rolex watches in your pocket, two children playing (throwing stones in the water), and a Panerai on my wrist and then the camera over the neck.

Getting to take the shoot was like this -

1)Get the watch out of the pocket - place it on a stone or any where quickly, get the shoots each time a wave came - that gives the action

2) keep a eye on the children

3) ignore the many funny looks from all the people on the beach -

4) Put the watch back in the pocket - getting a new one out and repeat....

Well here are some 16600 photos ....

Hope you enjoy - my 1675 to come ......

Keep Smiling ;-)

Good job keeping the kids safe whilst snapping these action shots, Jan!

Nice photos! Could be ads!

Speed · 11 October 2009, 06:59 AM

Beautiful.

Man, is it just me or would others be afraid of a rogue wave crashing in and taking that watch out to sea???

snowbird · 11 October 2009, 07:35 AM

Wow those are beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing those

rolexsubdate · 11 October 2009, 07:48 AM

that's why you gotta find tidepools .... so things can't be washed off shore .... but always gotta keep your eye on the watch .... I once took pics of my SD on the beach and it took about 4 waves to make it sink 3/4 into the sand ....another 2 minutes and it would have been burried .....I always keep one hand on the watch when I am taking pics .... if it ever takes off into the ocean, I would feel like the biggest idiot ever born ......

I love the last two, absolutely gorgeous.

JBat · 11 October 2009, 08:44 AM

Cool shots! You're braver than me for putting your watch where it looked like it could be washed away.

The SD seems to be in its element. What's next, the GMT up in the air?

Cheers

I can especially appreciate the work as I tried to do some outdoor shots of my new Yachtmaster and it is difficult to get good stuff!

Cowboyland · 16 October 2009, 04:41 AM

Those shots are absolutely fantastic. There's just something about seeing a Rolex in it's natural environment.
