My old 16750 in the swimming pool. One of my favorite pics!

padi56 · 13 February 2008, 04:41 AM

Now thats a great picture but truth be told I would doubt if 85% of all sports watches sold ever see water other than the pool or perhaps a shower.

colemanitis · 13 February 2008, 04:50 AM

I'm going to recreate this shot when my new GMT arrives. Of course it'll need to warm up a bit first.

GoldenBear · 13 February 2008, 04:51 AM

You're going to give some folks here a heart attack getting it wet like that...

Alex Stylianou · 13 February 2008, 04:52 AM

Nice shot !

xkjohn · 13 February 2008, 04:53 AM

That is a GREAT shot!

Regards,

John

Alcan · 13 February 2008, 04:58 AM

Not me either. After having the clear caseback installed on my Sub I had it pressure tested again. It's watertight.

abrumley · 13 February 2008, 05:06 AM

I've gone diving with mine several times. In fact i never go without it!

C.J. · 13 February 2008, 05:30 AM

If that were one of JJ's, it would have rusted by now

f16570 · 13 February 2008, 05:48 AM

Mine has been swimming, surfing & diving, its an Oyster.

JBat · 13 February 2008, 05:54 AM

Cool shot, Jeff!

gha · 13 February 2008, 06:02 AM

Very cool pic Jeff.
It surprizes me that some Rolex owners are not comfy getting their watches wet.....isn't that why it's designed the way it is?
I boil mine to sanitize it, because I never really know where it's been....gha

Scooby · 13 February 2008, 06:29 AM

Took my 1675 swimming with the dolphins last year in the Bahamas. Keeps on ticking.

Randy · 13 February 2008, 06:33 AM

SS Sub, TT Sub, and Daytona see water! No Worries (make sure pushers screwed in!)

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 February 2008, 07:29 AM

Terrific pic, Jeff!

Lane from s.c. · 13 February 2008, 07:38 AM

My old gmt 23 years old has done a lot of: diving, flying( including 18,000 ft. with the door open dropping navy seals), sport biking, alot of boating and pool parties, traveled to over 27 countries, been to the artic circle -60 f. below, and has done some more things I can`t talk about. My gmt gets around and has lived the good life! lol

StanGMT · 13 February 2008, 09:35 AM

I've taken my GMT deep sea diving - inside a nuclear sub in 1970! But I've also been in the sea many times with it and in swimming pools hundreds of times - almost invariably diving into the deep end. Hell - what are we going on about - Rolex Oysters are the definitive diving watches.

Jeff,

Nice pic!

Robb · 13 February 2008, 10:44 AM

Your kidding , right?

Boiling a Rolex would NOT be a recommended practice by anyone. You could completely wreck all the rubber seals in your watch. Bad idea!

monkfish · 13 February 2008, 12:06 PM

am i the only person who loves the reflection the rolex (or probably any watch) gives when in the bath?

sferea305 · 13 February 2008, 12:23 PM

I take mine deep sea fishing in Montauk LI. I go ocean kayaking with it and occassionally will swim with it.....if its too rough I am just afraid I will get knocked into the sand and scratch it.

bgriz · 13 February 2008, 01:16 PM

I love that 16750

KJacques · 13 February 2008, 01:17 PM

Afraid to get them wet? Not really. Although I usually pick an old one when washing a car.

x2 , gha, I hope you were kidding.

Letsgodiving · 13 February 2008, 02:10 PM

I think they go rather well with a little water.

oasisash78 · 13 February 2008, 02:25 PM

I had my Baptism with my GMT II.

JJ Irani · 13 February 2008, 03:43 PM
