Anyone ever wash their Rolex in a dishwasher?

I think I heard someone do this years ago and it worked but this is not advice.

Yes. But it was quite hot, noisy and claustrophobic. So after the rinse cycle, I climbed out (not easy), and said ‘not doing that again.’

My watch just sparkled though.

Curious, did the Jet-Dry irritate your skin?

I bailed out before the jet dry cycle…….. I’d had enough, and was ready to admit defeat.

Just once. I came home really drunk one night and thought I was putting it in the washing machine. Found it in the dishwasher the next morning.

All was good.

Yeah, that was your mistake. Now you'll have water spots, and you'll have to use a cape cod cloth. And everyone knows that the CC will destroy the finish on your watch.

Going forward, I’m going to zip tie it to the tow hooks when I go through the car wash.

I thought watches can't be exposed to hot water/hot steam?

Nobody should ever do this. In a world of 7 billion people I am sure everything you can think of has been done with a rolex

Somebody posted a video on here of him freezing his smurf iirc in a block of ice, and then boiling it on the stove.

Lmfao!! It probably won’t hurt anything. Have you seen the thread where the dude put his watch in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes because his brother questioned the abilities of a Rolex?
