Looks incredible ! Holy cow Axe congratulations to you, and especially your
son there it sounds like. Man oh man, very cool of you there.

These are the kinds of watches that manage to always stand out in a crowd,
and that are extra special, and you always remember. It's the perfect watch
for where you guys are on vacation actually. Keep enjoying sir, and congrats
once again !

Beach, beer, family, and a favorite watch. Doesn't get any better;) Will be doing the same in two weeks.

Sweet watch! I think this is the first I've seen with a White face. I love it!

[Recoil Rob]

i was expecting to see this.

I've been back and forth about making a serious run at one of these, the dials are stunning but I have my doubts about the bezel. Just looks like painted on numerals that will eventually scratch off. If there was a bezel with "engraved" numerals then it would be a sure thing. Something along the lines of this...

Thanks Tom, Darren, Terry, David, and Gary.

Day 6 of 7:

Tried to surf fish with my oldest today even though the surf was extremely rough. We got some nibbles, but then again we were going for big fish. We were using size 7-0 circle hooks.



Relaxation time after a full day at the beach and pool.



David, regardless of the weather, you'll still have a great time!

[Recoil Rob]

Beautiful watch David.

Is that a Penn 704Z on a customer built rod, nice setup. How do you like those aluminum sand spikes? Been thinking about getting one when my PVC ones wear out.

Day 7 of 7 vacay. MOTE Aquarium.

My new favorite sea creature. The Flamboyant Cuttlefish.

MOTE is the best. We go there every time we are in town.

Little dude is badass.

MOTE is the best. We go there every time we are in town.

This is a little gem for sure. My boys, 8 and 5, wife, and I had a blast. Real neat aquarium. We ended up getting a family annual pass.

Hello Rob,

The aluminum spikes were purchased from Bass Pro. They are the best, IMO. You can adjust the butt part to accommodate for any length rod handle.

The rod is from Daiwa. It is a Saltiga Inteline rod:

I have the SABS 35-405I XH F 13'3''

The reel was imported from Australia:

DAIWA S Extreme Maverick 4500H

I love this setup.

[Recoil Rob]

Thanks Gerald, I have one rod that's 13', mostly here in the NE we use 10-11' for the surf but our beaches are fairly steep. Nice setup though, that newer equipment weighs a lot less than my stuff. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, looks like a great time.
