If you did them while inside the dishwasher it might be considered sport ;)

It's just a watch, wear it everywhere. I once left my Breitling in the pool overnight after having a few too many cocktails and a late night swim. It's better than ever.

George Ab · 11 June 2010, 01:58 PM

Pool yes. Hot tubs and hot springs no. My concern is the temperature change could result in condensation in the watch.

Colnago · 11 June 2010, 02:02 PM

Temperature change alone will not result in condensation inside your watch.....for condensation to form there must be a small amount of water inside....if the inside of the watch is totally dry (which it should be, at least of water) then there is nothing to condense on the underside of the crystal where you would see it, or on the inside of the case.....you can put a correctly serviced Rolex in boilng water and then almost straight into the freezer, it's been done.......there will be no condensation

7 people so far have voted "Hell, No!".....deary deary me......what do you really think it is you have on your wrists?

Agree on both points there Bill...!

Colnago · 11 June 2010, 02:23 PM

Thanks for the back-up Rob mate!

Jason71 · 11 June 2010, 02:50 PM

I wouldn't dive with one.........If the salt-water didn't dissolve it instantly, a fish might snatch it off your wrist.

htc8p · 11 June 2010, 04:35 PM

no. have no use for it there

At least you did not leave your bathing suit in the pool!

Yes, I would agree that snatching is a much greater risk of harm than chemicals.

Subfiend · 12 June 2010, 04:09 AM

Look at all these Rolex snatchers checking out my watch. I felt like a tourist in a Third World barrio. I wasn't worried about the effect of the salt water on this dive.

Its a shame if he DIDNT leave his suit in the pool. Thats usually a sign of a really good time.

mpkRolex · 12 June 2010, 02:21 PM

Just dont let the Sub and the deep sea get wet..others should be just fine

I dont wear my watch when I swim but I would never hesitate if I have to..

Nick1959 · 12 June 2010, 09:22 PM

Aren't they made to do such things?

jrssv · 13 June 2010, 04:27 AM

I wear mine in the jacuzzi all the time.

Pix · 13 June 2010, 04:39 AM

I wear my SS Datejust to the gym, it gets sweat all over it, I wear it in the pool, sauna, hot tub etc, then just rinse with soap and water in the shower

scl6118 · 13 June 2010, 01:29 PM

I ONLY wear my IIC in pools, it prefers it there!

If your concern is condensing the small quantity of water vapor present in the air sealed inside the watch case, you would avoid cold water (or more to the point, cold temperatures generally).

In practice this should be a non-issue.

You are assuming that I had one on to begin with...which I did not. Went in only sporting a Breitling, somehow left wearing nothing.
