I'm sure it could handle the dishwasher and being dropped in a bucket of gasoline. But why would ya? I never get the point of these. How fing pissed would you be if something did go wrong?

I've heard that jacuzzis or saunas can be harmful for watches since the temperature can loosen the rubber seals on the watch and mess with the water resistance. I rather not take the risk.

Umm... As a Finn we almost grow up in the sauna, and millions of watches in our country see the insides of a sauna regularly. So to answer your question... Why wouldn't you?

I always keep my watches on in the sauna.

As I've repeatedly stated a metal object by itself inside a 80-100c warm sauna will scorch your fingers. A watch stays almost cool to the touch. It is being cooled by your perspiration and contact with your skin, which won't reach 80c, or you'd be dead.

I wouldn't put my watches in the sauna without me. Then they would get hot.
