YES!

My DJ41 is the only watch I wear to the beach. So light, so comfy...and not a big clunky diver. Hell I'm not diving....

That's actually a cool pic! Looks like it belongs in a magazine. Please let us know if your watch stands up okay. I remember reading a thread awhile back about a member going into the spa with a TT DJ. The chlorine made the gold have a dark tarnished look to it. Ever since I read that thread, I make sure to keep away from pools or spas with chlorine in it.

That’s why I bought one. I wanted a dressier style watch that I can swim with. Can’t do that with a Cartier Tank or JLC Reverso.

I’ve used mine in the ocean by the beach, in the pool, anywhere really. It’s an oyster afterall. Can’t remember where I read about caution of using it in a spa but don’t see the diff between that and a pool.

Love that white stick dial. Too bad it is not available on the 36mm.

I bought this watch in 1988, 34 years ago. I have worn it to the pool all these years, (yes we have chlorine in our pools). I have swum in the sea with it, I wear it in sauna and have never had any problems. This is a Rolex you know.

The only downside for me is that I won't wear the white dial once fall/winter comes. But love it when the weather is warm with short sleeves and shorts.

That sounds like a good excuse to get a dark color DJ to go with your white dial DJ. :)
