    Most of my pictures show the watches at office or at home - even if it is a divers watch or something more suited for a fighter pilot or some other professional.
    I went thru my album and found some pictures that are more in the line with what the watches are made for.

    Feel free to add yours.

    I'd be curious to see a diamond-encrusted Rolex Day-Date in its environment!

    The photos are great. The chrono at the gear shifter would be a good one, or an Explorer II on a rock...

    I think you need more Rolexes. (We're here to enable, no?)

    At the moment I have 11 semi-vintage Rolexes. I am way beyond the need of enableing. No, the number of watches is not the problem... Not how many I have of any brand/make either. The problem is that I only seem to photograph watches when in the car, at the office or at home. I am probably too occupied when going on adventures - which might be natural. ;)

    It should have been oysters...

    Work wear?! Alpha, Isn't your job now to be a fashionista? Fashionably retired, fashionably late, fashionably on holiday...;)

    I will never go to the Moon. I will never go to space. I go to Rochester, NY...and other places like that.

    BUT...when I chug the four XL Dunkin' Donuts coffees that you see pictured below...I will go into orbit...MAJOR orbit...sporting Speedy Gonzales appropriately on the Omega replica NASA strap. Therefore, I consider a natural habitat for Speedy Gonzales to be in the vicinity of Dunkin' Donuts coffee...and I believe the picture below (at our local Dunkin' Donuts) accurately depicts that natural habitat...AND I edited the picture to B&W to make it appear more space-like. :thumbsup:

    The two meteorites depicted, one from the Namibian 'Hoba' (Speedmaster's dial), and the other the Campo del Cielo meteorite which the Speedie is resting on, despite having fallen to earth tens of thousands of years apart from each other, still have their space origins in common, and the Speedie could have quite accurately timed their re-entry:D:thumbsup:!

    I put my diver in the fish tank too many crocodiles and box jellyfish up here for natural habitat.

    I'm starting to believe that Speedy Gonzales' secondary natural habitat is mowing the lawn. :thumbsdown:

    Hmmm...maybe a riding mower would be more in line with Speedy's original purpose as a racing chrono...
    Are we timing the mower's speed, or the growth of grass? Sounds like the latter if that's the natural habitat...

    Unfortunately our yard is much too small for a riding mower (I say "unfortunately" because I wanted to purchase a vintage 1969 Allis Chalmers B-110 tractor just like dad's). I do time the entire lawn chore evolution with Speedy Gonzales...equipment preflight, cut, trim, edge, blow, equipment post flight...which I've gotten down to 46:23.
