A recent post asking "is it safe to go for a swim in my Rolex" prompted this post.

I went for swim, took my sub off and left it on some rocks, and promptly forgot about it

Tide had come in overnight and completely covered the watch, luckily hiding it from view and risking anyone finding it. When I came back at first daylight (and tide was going out) the next morning, I found it!!!

Watch was still on the rocks, keeping perfect time.

Here's a pic...

where did it happen exactly? i should frequent that beach more often. :-)

lucky find btw, it could have been washed away easily.

Seriously??? Maybe it is not safe for your Rolex to go to the beach with YOU!!

John,
you and Jocke are identical twins.

conrail · 3 May 2011, 11:29 PM

Hah, yea right. Nice "story"

Lion · 3 May 2011, 11:38 PM

I know this is a joke but why would you take off a watch which is meant to be worn in the water???

If you die at night in your sleep will you know about it in the morning when you wake up?

If a tree falls in the forest and you are not there to hear it does it make a loud noise when it falls!!!

Becasue people keep asking if they can take their Rolex in water!!!

OK, so my "story" is not as water tight as my Rolex

OK, my cover is blown, Mods, better move this to the "Jokes" forum, or better still, the "Bad Jokes" forum

I knew this had to be a story or it was one heck of a party.

Porsche · 4 May 2011, 12:10 AM

Wondering if I can send it to Rolex for a service and a free polishing

They may claim it has a modified case

conrail · 4 May 2011, 12:21 AM

Haha I lost track of where on the forums I was (too early in the morning and w/o coffee yet). I thought I was in general discussions, but clearly I was in the joke section :) Well played!

Yeah. I was about to say. That Submariner doesn't have any reflection on the crystal.
