Boy oh boy Tim, that is incredible what you go through,
or went through. :o :o :salute: The way you talk about all
of it so calmly, and as if it is no big deal, and easy is just
amazing really. Wow, I am floored !

It looks like such an epic area too, and has to be just an
unforgettable time. And what better watch to do it with.
I mean the name of the watch says it all right?! 8-) And
even though it looks like you put it through the mill, it
looks like it really enjoyed it right along with you !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Want to thank you for sharing all of this with us, and also
wish you a GIANT congratulations on all of this !!!

Incredible wrist shots by the way ! ..And you too Roger !

Is this the race? If so, that is crazy, and did your team make in 85 hours?

Awesome!

Can't decide if I like the adventure more, or the use of a tool watch, or the pissing off of TRF folks :)

Since my “adventure boat” sank (repeatedly), my vote is for freaking out the TRF folks.

Late to the party. Congrats on an awesome accomplishment as well as use of a watch(s) as designed.

All my watches now reflect use, but cared for and enjoyed. I gave up “pristine” years ago and just enjoy them as they were intended for. I am VERY particular but I found that watches represent the adventures, functionality and purpose as designed. Pushing them to their intended use is a function of their design and owning “pre-loved” watches exemplifies their intent.

Great adventure and nice you had a watch to share it with. These create memories when you look down on wrist more than pictures themselves. All the best, Blaine
