Lap Swimming with Rolex Gold

Howdy everyone!

I am a beginning lap swimmer. I recently bought a two tone Datejust, which I want to wear daily.

I plan to swim after work, before going home.

I would rather wear the watch than leave it in my car, or locker, or swim bag, as I believe the wrist is the safest place for the watch to be (so long as you'r not walking down a dark alley in some sketchy neighborhood at 3am).

A long time ago, I saw a thread here on the forum, where some guy went swimming with a two tone Datejust, and the chemicals in the water altered the color or the gold.

If I'm not mistaken though, the chemicals in the pool were off, and Rolex fixed it under warranty.

But I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Any weird consequences of swimming in a public pool, with chlorine in it, with a two tone watch?

I know the steel will be fine, more concerned about the gold.

Thanks and happy Friday!
