That's cool. Thanks for sharing Adam. We should make that a sticky and title it "It is safe to go swimming with your Rolex"

Are you sure I can swim with my Rolex?!?! LOL

It's actually amazing the Rolex internals remain dry at surface levels even IF you leave the crown unscrewed!

That's cool Adam! Although not directly related, it somewhat reminds me of this..

Thanks for sharing. It's almost embarrassing that my dssd will never experience what it was designed to do.

Haven't seen it, thanks for info!!!

I thought the spot reached by Cameron was the deepest spot in all oceans, but this information says otherwise.

Ok it's time to be honest, hands up those who have dived down to 100 ft.

Mick

PS I have gone down about 8ft wearing my Sub Date.
