Curious - who showers with their watch on?

I know my DJ41 is waterproof down to 100 meters, but after having it about a month I still haven't gone near the water with it!

SeaDweller50 · 2 March 2018, 10:26 AM

Only DSSD owners wear their Rolex in the shower.

904VT · 2 March 2018, 10:28 AM

I'm sure it's fine, I just prefer to avoid any soaps outside of blue Dawn touching my watches

Colin10101 · 2 March 2018, 10:28 AM

Yeah, I do. Im just too lazy to take the thing off. Plus I actually find myself using it in the morning to make sure I don't stay in the warm shower too long lol

thomaswentworth · 2 March 2018, 10:28 AM

No way! I prefer to keep all watches away from liquids. What's the point of taking unnecessary risk in the shower while simultaneously ensuring a portion of your wrist won't become sparkly clean? Take the Rolex off and have a clean wrist on which you can place your Rolex after you're done getting ready.

zjd168 · 2 March 2018, 10:28 AM

Nope, it's not comfortable at all

viper · 2 March 2018, 10:29 AM

Not normally, but away from home or after the beach always.

Usually when I leave home on trips I keep it on all the time

GolfJunkie · 2 March 2018, 10:31 AM

Every day. And I give it a good wash with my body wash and a soft tooth brush.

Not going to harm it.

GradyPhilpott · 2 March 2018, 10:31 AM

I do not.

thomaswentworth · 2 March 2018, 10:33 AM

This thread is giving me lots of images in my mind of naked dudes in the shower lol dang

Juantxo · 2 March 2018, 10:34 AM

Kind of makes me think twice about handling another man's Rolex now knowing where some of them have been. I guess plenty probably have endured some urinal splatter... Maybe it is a good idea to give your Rolex a nice rogering in the shower with a toothbrush every day.

vinzbee · 2 March 2018, 10:40 AM

Errr, nope, I believe it to be tough to clean any part of the body if that part's covered w/ something. If I'm in dire need to know what time it is, I just take a quick glance at the clock in my bathroom.

rockmastermike · 2 March 2018, 10:40 AM

modern yes - vintage no

Bigblu10 · 2 March 2018, 10:41 AM

Why? Do you really need to know the time in the shower?

hulkalicious · 2 March 2018, 10:41 AM

Fck no

RHIII · 2 March 2018, 10:48 AM

I normally don’t shower with anything on....I think that’s how you’re supposed to? 🤣

Why do you try to avoid other soaps?

I've read this on here before, but still don't understand what is special about blue Dawn

antbkny · 2 March 2018, 10:55 AM

Only at a hotel

thomaswentworth · 2 March 2018, 10:56 AM

Here is a nice photo to add to the conversation...

Navarino · 2 March 2018, 10:57 AM

I'm a bit surprised by a lot of the responses on this thread. Personally, I don't sleep with any watch on or wear one while showering.

The Libertine · 2 March 2018, 10:59 AM

All the questions you could ask about Rolex ownership, and this is what you came up with?

The idea is to avoid alcohol and/or ammonia ingredients and other harsh cleaners because over time they can erode the gaskets and other non-metal materials. Rolex recommends a gentle soap as well.

Blue Dawn is a degreaser often used to clean wildlife after oil spills. Definitely gentle enough for your watches.

Too funny!

Jim Smyth · 2 March 2018, 11:01 AM

Yes, Also give the watch some extra TLC about every other week. Soft toothbrush and body wash to clean in all the crevices and then dried off with a micro fiber rag. Looks brand new when done. Gotta keep the grit away.

Mostly this. Not out of laziness though, a Rolex should be able to handle 10min of shampoo and water
