So we were just chatting in a little collectors WhatsApp group when the
discussion came up, that watches are often not used for the purpose they were
made for.
For example many people take of their dive watches even for swimming in the
ocean.
Please show your watches in their natural habitat. I'll start.
One of my favourite dive watches
A nice driver.
This one has been seen in the wild from time to time (Galapagos 2019).
Hello dear friemds,
Aquatimer and Oceans simply belong in the water.
And the Ingenieur always goes anyway (here my 3227 after 16 years on the arm).
PS: The first scratch hurt... ;-)

There's only one watch which was made for the current weather conditons:
AQUATIMER!
I snorkeled wearing my AT2000 on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos Islands.
Great trip and
swiming companion. I learned later it's not a good idea to be swimming with a
shiny bracelt when their are sharks nearby. There were. A school of
hammerheads swam right by us. They were completely uninterested in us.
Thanks for sharing it, it's really awesome information that are helpful for
everyone.
Ok, the pool is only 1.5 meters deep so not sure if it's called 'diving' but
it's fun nevertheless :-)
Kind regards,
Clemens
Really great watches Clemens!
Cheers,

I knew I had to have a picture somewhere of me wearing a Pilots watch in a
plane..
This was such an awesome event! The power of the plane, the acceleration and
G-forces are something to behold. This took place in September 2012, how time
flies...
Kind regards,
Clemens
The Portuguese line looks stunning but it's a bit more diificult to find
something whar it was made for. A few years ago however I took this shot, with
the Portuguese and nautical navigational instruments.
Kind regards,
Clemens
I am not sure if the Ingenieur watches are made for climbing and alpinism. But
for my ascent to the Matterhorn I absolutely had to wear a watch. So I
decided to bring my 3239 Laureus to the summit.
