The power of the flush?
I just pondered if my Rolex accidentally, during the course of activity, fell into the toilet, and saying I didn't realise it was there - - well would the flush be strong enough to flush it down, or would the weight of the metal keep it in the bowl?
Pre-Thanks

This may be the first time this question has been posed here.......
 And, I imagine it would indeed "flush".......can't say for sure if it would make it past the trap, however.......

Not sure. But I do know that a double flush is a much appreciated gesture.

If you really want to find out, tape a couple of 40mm washers together and give it a go...

I'm sure the sanitation district will appreciate your donation.

Flushed my sub 5 times but still couldn't get it to go down so no, it won't flush (in Australia).

Depends on the design of your bowl/U bend, I suspect!

What exactly is the type of activity you were pondering that might cause the watch to fall into the bowl and the flush to activate?

Interestingly enough, the Aussie toilets tend to dump a whole ton of water in one hit. A brute force approach. The North American ones tend to "spin" a lot more, like some sort of water park ride for excrement.
