Rolex116520 · 14 June 2009, 01:43 AM

Sure ,No doubt .

Idle Swede · 14 June 2009, 01:45 AM

No sweat...

The GMT Master · 14 June 2009, 01:59 AM

As long as you have the crown screwed down, should be fine

Please tell me your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek when you ask that question.

If not,

For one thing, I wouldn't leave mine in a locker. Secondly, how often do you read about people taking them off and dropping them on the tile floor? Finally, why wear it in a sauna?...because you can.

Xenophon · 14 June 2009, 03:26 AM

OH MY GOD NO !!! It could explode

sea-dweller · 14 June 2009, 03:42 AM

Keep the crown down and you'll be fine.

Yume-sama · 14 June 2009, 03:43 AM

Ooh, yeah! Get it steaming and hold your watch out... it'll steam clean it for you!

Use this one if you want.

Thanks!

Uh, I do not know why no-one has mentioned it yet, but: you are NOT suppose to wear any metal in a sauna. Saunas are HOT. Metal objects get very hot. No rings, no watches, no bracelets, no chains. Even staples in a Newsweek get uncomfortably hot.

Gold Crown · 16 June 2009, 09:42 AM

I would not wear the watch in a sauna. Leave it at home.

cody p · 16 June 2009, 09:45 AM

if you want happiness, seek the middle path and avoid extremes. saunas are extremely hot/humid places.

How can metal in a sauna get any hotter than the ambient air temp? That energy has to come from somewhere.

I thought it was mandatory to wear a gold medallion necklace and Day-Date in a sauna.

Watchdog · 16 June 2009, 10:27 AM

I wouldn't.

I would worry about expansion and contraction given such quick and dramatic changes in temperature.

If it stays next to the skin.. No problem... people put cross's etc on chains behind there back so its in contact with the skin and not hanging loose (excuse the pun).. I've seen sauna novices have a medelion hanging on a chain in front of them scream when they stand up, and it's again in contact with the skin.. quite amusing to watch..but watches, rings.. etc are fine, and safer then being in a locker.

piom · 16 June 2009, 11:12 AM

I think it will be ok, just make sure the rolex doesn't get too TAN

Perdu · 16 June 2009, 12:56 PM

Worn mine in the sauna many a time.

If your body can take it, Rolex can. I'm sure A Rolex can tolerate a much larger temperature ranges than our body can.

marselluswallace · 16 June 2009, 09:18 PM

Ive worn my Yachtmaster in the sauna many times with no problems whatsoever.
Ive also worn it in the jacuzzi and the high pressure water jets caused it no problems either.

rotan · 16 June 2009, 10:23 PM

Don't sound good to wear in a sauna. However if I am wearing my precious watch I would not take it off and put in the locker.Would rather go sauna with it.

drtooth73 · 16 June 2009, 11:08 PM

i wear mine 24/7, and the watch goes to sauna, steam room, whirlpool. Watch still works

cosimo · 17 June 2009, 12:41 AM

I wear mine outside, in florida, during the summer. I pretty sure thats the same thing.

watchnut · 17 June 2009, 12:55 AM

You could, but you take the chance that your SD will become a Sub if you stay in too long!
