Has my AD lost it?

[Mrkamir9]

Popped into the local mall today and visited the Rolex store, as usual. I had on my TT bluesy and had a quick chat with the gentleman. As we were talking I had mentioned how I haven't taken it off since I got it, what he told me next was a bit shocking...

He told me "Make sure you don't wear it in the pool", I said why the hell not? He began to explain that chlorine isn't good for gold unless it's solid and could darken it quickly. I told him I didn't care, I bought a submariner for these reasons and I'm going to enjoy it! He said "ok your choice"

Just curious, not that I'd change my mind anyways, I enjoy wearing it without worrying about the small amounts of chlorine for the short periods of time I spend in a pool lol...but has anyone heard of this being an issue for PM watches? I can't imagine someone buying a submariner to worry about these things...

I'm sure this has been talked about many times (I haven't checked) but I thought it was strange that a Rolex AD came up with this... Thanks in advance.
