Your watch in its natural environment
Discussion
A photo of you and your watch in the environment it was designed for. For example, Oris Deepsea whilst scuba diving, Breitling whilst flying an X-15 (not sitting in a directors chair in front of it, Mr Travolta), Bremont at the joystick of an open cockpit bi-plane etc... Obviously vast interpretation of 'natural environment' is acceptable and any super funny ones (Cartier in a spray tan studio) get extra credos.
Starters for 10 is my OFFSHORE Professional, and I almost managed to get the watch in focus this time:

Shame this thread hasn't had any response- love the idea of seeing others' adventurous lifestyles as I sit at my office desk!
Sadly, I'm not on the flightdeck of a PanAm jumbo, nor at the controls of a vintage biplane, nor am I enjoying myself in Lisbon, so none of my watches are anywhere close to their 'natural' environment right now...

Hope that graph isn't for % survival after treatment!!
Sadly, yes; if you're interested, below is a great website for information on Ca of all types for both patients and professionals.http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/ (Home page).

Now that we've had a small anomalous beat in the thread, back to the watches! I got a CHR Ward C8 Flyer automatic in the sale and was worried about its size as my wrist is small; the Longines is a bit big at 40mm and the C8 is 44mm but pilot's watches are meant to be large and I'm pleased with it. Can't make any claims to be a pilot so picture not for this thread.

Interestingly, the majority of men think they have slim wrists and can't wear a big watch. My watch is 44mm diameter and 14.5mm thick, but it sits perfectly in my own (rather slim wrist) simply because of the way the strap attaches to the case and the deployment clasp gymbals around the back. The strap is thickened, curved and has a rubber core to give a tight fit to the case that only flexes under abnormal loading. It's why the watch can be held from the bottom of the strap and still stand upright, as in my original photo. The deployment clasp holds the inner wrist but pushes the inner strap away from the wrist so it can pick up the correct curvature. Similar approach with the metal bracelet, but this also needs a constant width and thickness to balance the weight and prevent wrist rotation.
Why not try your CHR Ward on a similar curved end strap. Hirsch do some lovely ones.
