I can't possibly imagine that this is a problem, but I've read mixed opinions when trying to do research on the subject so I figured I'd ask.

I recently purchased a mid sized DJ for my wife (thanks DAVIDSW!), she shouldn't have any problem swimming/snorkeling/showering with her DJ, correct?? (as long as the winder is screwed in tightly)

She isn't going to be diving with it, so I'm not worried about 100's of meters. Just basic swimming.

thanks a bunch.

Soak her down (the watch I mean) -- It'll be fine.

Don't screw the winder (crown) in too tightly.. It doesn't provide the main seal, those are inside around the stem.. just screw it snugly so the gasket is against the top of the tube and it will be fine..

Her DJ has the same water resistance as your Yachtmaster...

I have gone many times snorkeling, diving, jumping off of 20' bow of boat, swimming in chlorinated pool, salt water ocean, dirty lake water, bathtub, 104 degree hot tub, ice cold Maine sea water, and on an on with both my DJ and my SD. Both are fine.

Great, that is what I figured but I just wanted to double check.

Also, great info Tools, thanks. I didn't realize the seal was in the stem. That will prevent me from cranking the winder it too tight.

thanks again
