Icon4 Your Rolex on the beach
Do you take your Rolex to the beach, and do you swim with it it the salt water?
And of course, some photo's would be nice if you have ;)

Taken on Copacabana beach last year.....



I can't understand people who mollycoddle their watches and think it is unsafe to take it into the sea (which is what the 'sports models' are designed for) or is it safe to run while wearing it?

My Rolexes love the beach...



So much so that I've let them go for a swim by themselves...





Sadly they sink rather than swim.

I live at the beach; it's a bit cool for swimming right now however; besides which my watch is going to the Rolex watch doctor for some therapy.
