What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

I pick a watch for adventures and incorporate it into a daily photo, that represents something special, from that day. That way when I look at the watch and or photo, I am able too, in my mind’s eye, remember the event more clearly.

Love this reference! These pictures and yet another mind numbing experience at a Rolex boutique today are solidifying that love!

Just wish the helium nipple becomes a thing of the past at some point.

The HE is what makes it the current Seamaster.

9 hours and 4 shots. I remember clearly as if it just happened.

Today I found a watch strap maker Jean Russeau in Picadilly Arcade in London. They are making me a strap for my new Rolex Explorer out of buffalo hide, that will use the existing Rolex clasp. You get to choose the actual piece of hide they cut from, the degree of padding, the type of backing and the colour and style of stitching. This is the hide I chose:

Can't wait to see the new Rollie with a buffalo strap!

I’ve got some of their straps. They are very nice.
 
I haven't worn a watch in my daily life for the last 25 years, or maybe longer. The mobile phone has taken over their function.

It's another matter when I'm hunting, fishing, in the woods, in the mountains, boating, riding an ATV or snowmobile. And it's not always convenient to use the phone there, it lies in a secure pocket, most often with a zipper, so as not to get lost.

And there it is easier to recognize the time in the old tried and tested way, for which ordinary hiking clocks are best suited. In my case, it's Casio G-Shock Mudmaster and Casio Pro Trek.

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
A wonderful trip to Hungary with a very special friend !
