First, a B/W, inspired by exigesc.

With casually formal attire.

What the xxxx was I doing at the Rolex Service Centre? The lady sitting behind the desk was actually staring at me when I was taking this shot.

OK, now the Aquanaut felt more at home here.

The Aquanaut accompanied me driving...

and desk diving...

and playing with the dog.

But it has yet to dive into the water!

Well, I must admit that I didn't buy this watch for a swim.

That's the job of my Oris Divers 65.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers,

Luis

Yes, one of the nicest every day watches.

I use my Aquanaut in the pool, sea and all rough things and when I know that I will dress to anything better than jeans, then my Nautilus family; 5711, 3712 and 5980, take the place of "daily beater". Best, Kari
