This was in Cocos Islands at the end of last year and I know people don't believe me but it is quite relaxing when you swim through a school with a couple of 100 of them.
Adrenaline is facing a fully grown great white... This was before it turned to come in close and was quickly before I tucked my arm in behind my camera away from those teeth!

Watch in the nature or wild....
By: KIH : February 20th, 2014-08:00
.... the best of the best of 2013 having been announced, we keep on doing WS every week This week, we look forward the pics of the watches in the nature (or in the wild ). HAGWE! Ken ...
That's a very exciting theme.
By: Mark in Paris : February 20th, 2014-08:05
Can we understand from your picture that cities are allowed to compete? Cheers, mark
Sure!
By: KIH : February 20th, 2014-08:41
Cityscape is "nature", too! Ken
Very good comparison!
By: KIH : February 20th, 2014-08:46
Hot and cold.... Never thought about the combination. Thank you! Ken
So many seasons to select....

In Sweden we have like 10 seasons.... And that is why you need to have more than 5 watches if you're Swedish! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

....what i find amazing about that dial is that it can take on so many different shades of red.....it almost copies whatever red is around.
I cherish these shots...
By: Baron - Mr Red : February 20th, 2014-09:34
.....to know you have worn these watches in these places....it fills me with happiness.
Great shots!

Nice Seamaster Planet Ocean
By: AndrewD : February 21st, 2014-13:28
Nice Seamaster Planet Ocean picture, Nilo. The orange tones look lovely and water on the crystal is a nice touch. Makes me wonder what a plexiglass 'lens' would look like on that watch. It gives your image a vintage feel. Andrew
I not water ...
By: nilomis : February 21st, 2014-13:32
But my tears because I sold it long time ago. You are correct. Plexy should be gorgeous on this and other watches. Cheers, Nilo
Nilo, two killer pics!

Your IWC is superb. The Omega not bad too!!! Cheers, TIm
