My AD just told me the Rolex Basel teaser under the white plastic wrap is the all new, long awaited, Rolex Steam Dweller. It allows the user to shower, enter hot springs or steam clean their watch worry free. Includes large cyclops to ensure inter-sauna readability and the quintuple-lock crown (cause trip-lock was only rated to 1000ft and sometimes just wasn't enough) They swore me to secrecy.

Navitimers are NOT waterproof, nor are they marketed as such. You really should have known better in this instance.

So for the record, following the watch nerd discussion, are we now 99% sure it's ok to take our subs in the shower, or is there still an element of doubt?

I've not heard one person in this thread mention a simple condensation test. Any decent watchmaking shop will have a Roxer Revelater.
Personally, I always do a pressure test AND a condensation test. Sometimes a watch will pass one, but not the other. |

Yes, but there might be that which would adhere to the material of the watch on the inside while opened, not just what's in the air, I would think. Would that surface area and tension increase the water content? I'm not versed enough to know, but do wonder. |

Shower + Steam = Water Inside Submariner?
All this mumbo jumbo is BS! You were sold a defective watch with unknown history!
I take my sub everywhere, from steam room, hot showers, sauna to cold showers... I live in canada and it gets -25C in winter time and I do sauna and cold air 10min each and I've never had an issue. Showering and jacuzzi and all that, and still nothing not a sign of anything. Feel like this thread is trying to create a science project out of nothing or creating a storm in a tea cup when the answer is simple - you got unlucky with a short deal. Get it to a RSC and put your worries behind you mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I watched this recently...fast forward to around 18:00. Essentially, any water proof watch can be made to fog up under the right conditions...and its ok.

It seems that there are many many troubles with second hand Rolexes. Possibly many of them are dropped without visible damage, but damages to structure seem evident. I would really need to know quite exact user history from trusted person before choosing second hand watch.

MY may know how to put a Rolex bracelet together and may have an impressive looking setup and lots of impressive stories to tell but I have serious reservations about their work on movements and even something as simple as case refinishing. Do not be fooled by their glossy advertising and social media presence. |

Having taken a piece into an RSC, where they stated that they "steam cleaned it" (I did not ask for this to be done), I have to question the validity of the basis for steam damage when the RSC could have: simply wiped it down, used solvent and water, or done nothing.
