Do you shower with your Rolex on?

Finally actually someone asking this. I was laughing at so many people worried about it.

I don’t really have it on in the shower but have on occasion. If I am spending all this money on a watch it better be able to be able to withstand water, soap etc.

If you are honestly worried about damaging it then you need to call a contractor and get your bathroom remodeled. How small is the shower haha

All the time!

A few weeks ago DJ and I were hiking and got caught in a heavy downpour for at least an hour.

Both survived. The cellphone got sick and had to be buried in uncooked rice to take away the moisture.

Everyday (including my 16520 and oyster quartz 17013 back in the day - wouldn’t shower with those two anymore). Anything with a triplock crown showers with me.

Every single day I shower with a Rolex on. Sometimes multiple times, too.

No big deal. It’s just a watch in water.

As another said, a Deepsea is probably just ok for washing your hands.

Is this a joke?

Yes, always for the past 30 years. It keeps the watch clean and flushes out any grit in the bracelet. I gently dry it off with a soft towel while it’s on my wrist after showering. Also use my Hulk for scuba diving, isn’t that what theyre designed for? All of my watches go into the water, Breitling, Rolex including my 16618 and Ball.

Are you regularly smacking your bare wrists against your shower fittings and tile when you shower?
Would wearing your watch cause inexplicable flailing ?

[HogwldFLTR]

Sorry, no! We're not that familiar...

[RollieRoll]

No I don't. Just use some Dawn every now and then for 15 minutes in a cup and rinse. Then dry with micro fiber cloth. Good luck

Always

This is also my way

I never take it off as youve got more chance of damaging it from dropping onto the tiles or knocking it off a top than damaging it in the shower
Remember the saying ...the safest place for your watch is on your wrist

No I don't.

[fishingbear]

Yes. All the time.

If someone showers with a YG Submariner - will that mean the whole event becomes a golden shower?

[pigman08]

I did for about 15 yrs, but I got tired of the soap scum build-up, so it comes off these days. If I'm at the pool, beach, or lake, it stays on my wrist.

[drmizzou]

Simple answer: no. I don’t shower with any jewelry on. Not even my wedding ring.

[Brad Clissold]

Maybe once a week.

[rushca01]

If I slept with it on the night before yes I shower with it. If I didn’t sleep with a watch I typically don’t put a watch on then get in the shower...however, if I have a tight schedule I will to keep track of time because I have been known to linger in hot showers.

[smym18]

Depends where I am and the environment. If I'm home - absolutely not. If I'm away and don't fully trust my surroundings, don't have a lock on the door, etc - yes.

[vette boy 52]

No, don't want soap scum buildup. I wash with one small drop of Dawn on a soft brush and warm water.
Plus I dropped one in the shower in my much younger years and broke the crystal. Had it serviced and it was fine.

[Clasper]

Once someone burgled our room on holiday but missed my Daytona TT which was in the top of my backpack. Since then I wear my Rolexes all of the time on holiday and therefore have been in the sea and pool with it on multiple occassions
Never had a problems yet, just make sure the Crown is screwed down and your good to go.

I think it was cool to shower to with watches on your wrist 30 years back when you wore your watches 24/7 on yourself to see the time. Now, wearing watches is not important in this age and to wear them in shower is simply overkilling the usage. I don't think its cool anymore unless you have been doing for decades now and its a habit. I don't see young people starting to shower with watches in this age.

[drc73]

I don’t shower with a watch because I always seem to have to take it off to dry my arm before getting dressed.

[kentrojan1]

I’ve showered with all my watches even the pieces that only have a 50m rating!

Yup, just about everyday.

[run23]

Wow, people sure do like talking about showering with watches (including me, apparently (-;).

I have no problem in theory taking any sports watch I own in a shower, but in practice I don’t like to do it as I end up banging it into myself as I’m washing my hair. I guess I’m a sloppy showerer?
