Took my FC 44mm on a trip to Mexico


Recommended Posts

Just a few Iphone snaps of my FC 44mm on vacation in Mexico, what the camera lacked in focus was made up in the beautiful scenery. Nothing new here to you guys, just some fun snaps, I thought I would share. Big ups to my friend Legend for helping me hold out for the right model and version of my watch, which I love. My only complaint I would say is the band is not that comfortable in comparison to my other AP's. I will be looking for an after market strap, It may not be red though Legend! lol

It's not very far from Cancun. About and hour or so drive. The ruins look like the ones in Tulum. Beach looks like Cancun or Riviera Maya. Great beaches and water.

A, next time I need a tourguide for Mexico (and in your case, a medically proficient one), will you oblige? 

I will buy all the tequilas and magaritas you can drink, and we shall prove also, upon intoxication, that the 44mm ROOs do fit your "puny" 7inch wrists. :lol:

Not a problem sir. We used to go to the area, Cancun, Cozumel every year to dive. Haven't been in about 4 years though. All the Mexican Narcotic smuggling gangs sort of out a damper on things, quite a few innocent tourists have been killed and wounded from the crossfire between rival gangs, gangs and the Militia, and sometimes just a bunch of gang members riding around shooting, or settling Scores"

Gotten a little quieter lately so we may go back this year. Great place to visit.

Looks like Tulum? Am I close? That is a lovely watch. Is the Iguana going to be lunch? Just kidding.

Some shots were taken in Tulum at the ruins. Spent the day there, what an amazing place. By far my favorite thing we did on the trip, besides sit by the pool and do nothing.......

the rest of the trip we were on the riviera maya in cancun at a new resort wasy off the beaten path out of the city. Not at all what I imagines when my wife mentioned cancun, to which my reaction was, "the spring break place?" this was no where near any of all that and was so beautiful.

It truly is beautiful. Been going down to the Yucatan for probably 35 years. Before Cancun was just getting off the ground, and Cozumel was still a sleepy fishing/ dive destination. Now all the cruise ships stop there, and it's pretty much a tourist trap. Still pretty decent diving, but the reefs are nothing like they were back then!!

I can imagine, we had lunch on the beach in Tulume at this little hidaway hippy spot it was amazing and the ocean was so clear and clean and the breaze was incredible.

I could gladly be your tour guide, i've been living here at cancun almost my whole life, but I would recommend "Mezcal" instead of "tequila". A "good" Mezcal wouldn't give you a hangover, proved by myself haha! :v:

Ah, its so enviable, lucky you!

Are those iguanas free-roaming and are the beaches pretty? Lastly, is it a safe vacation spot for the family?

Speaking of which, I haven't seen goodfella log on for a while now... hmmm.. ;)

Sounds like a great trip and what a beautiful watch, but by god that's the ugliest cat I've ever seen....

 

I wish people would start getting educated about Mexican wildlife.. that is obviously the elusive Mexican grey crocodile :lol: :lol:
