Rememebr the original oyster from back in 1928 surived a swim across the English Channel!
It is called an Oyster case for a reason. You can do just about any water sport you want in it, except go SCUBA diving deeper than about 90 feet! (most recreational dives are between 30-90 feet anyway). Now go take that new Rolex Oyster to the extremes! |

Did you want to adjust your limit of 90 feet in depth? JJ says 100 meters I am confused. Thanks |

I think what Chad was referring to was recreational diving by most Scuba divers who very rarely go down beyond 90 ft. JJ

Well, what I was referring to is, even though it is rated to 100 meters, that is if the watch is static. If you are swimming hard or bang an object hard, it will increase the pressure on the watch. Also, over time gaskets can erode, etc, and could be your watch looses up to 60% of it's effectiveness after couple of years of hard wear. So to be safe, I would never SCUBA, Dive, or swim below 100 feet with a DJ, GMT, or EXP. But as JJ mentioned, it is very rare for one to dive anyway below 90 feet. If you are going to dive below 90 feet, you will probably be wearing a dive computer instead on your wirst to calcualte decompression stops, or I would wear a deeper rated dive watch.
Note: Got some of the above info from a Magazine/Brochure that G-P produces on Hourology. BTW, I just got a DJ today, and I plan on doing a hard 30 minute swim tonight with it on. |

Wouldn't a Daytona cosmograph give you more accurate lap times? ![]() ![]() ![]()

I never record my lap times or think about it. Just do 30 (sometimes 40 minutes) of laps. Usually first 20 minutes breaststroke and then 10 minutes freestyle. I find the swimming not only to be a good workout but very relaxing as well. Usally put on the Sub Date when go swimming, use the bezel to record how much time has elapsed.

I would think a "Cosmograph" would be able to draw the star charts or have the lettering look like it was written by Russians who went to space.
