I wouldn't worry about it. The gasket would prevent any water from getting inside.

All Rolexes are rated at a certain depth with the crown open. As long as your seals are good, you should be fine.

That's why I won't buy her a Rolex. She will drop it, flood it, scratch it, shake it, sit on it, magnetize it, time and time again.

Perhaps she wanted to know the time in a different time zone.

From a rather shaky premise, this thread has blossomed into a classic.

Bravo!

So you're publically calling her out for keeping your watch clean and wound???

Assuming the seals are intact, there should be no problem at all.

The twin lock crown is capable of more water resistance than the nominated Rolex standard
