I wear my sub daily swimming, 180 degree dry sauna, steam sauna, ice and hot cold plunge nearly daily. Beat the crap out of it and no issues.

I won't wash my hands whilst wearing my Sub.... Too risky. Your Sub should be in the safe where it can't be harmed.

I swim with my sub and gmt… beach.. pool.. they are made to be worn.

A mod should lock this thread - it's just trolling.

Kyjeeprealtor · 22 February 2022, 08:20 AM

Totally fine to do!

BNA/LION · 22 February 2022, 08:21 AM

Never!

Look at the name on the watch. Tells you everything you need to know.

It’s what these things were built to cope with.

Is this really a thing? It’s not really a risk. It’s a submariner man!
Unless your talking about super vintage stuff

Never. I would never put anything that sounds like a submarine in water :)

ltmgeller · 22 February 2022, 11:05 AM

I take all my Rolex watches in the water. You shouldn't be afraid.

underpar · 22 February 2022, 11:26 AM

It's one of the reasons I buy them.

Are you insane!?!?!?!? You can’t get it wet!!!!!!

sski · 22 February 2022, 11:32 AM

a submariner should be confined to a locked safe; same way a submarine should be confined to a dry dock (NOT!)

RolexSimon · 22 February 2022, 11:38 AM

I used to surface swim with my Nautilus, I dive with my Sub. i was going to dive with my Daytona but wimped out and just used the sub instead. I'm sure the Daytona would have been fine at 20m.

I would use it for diving...why not? Exactly what is is designed for.

Never went swimming with any of my Rolex watches
I have seen plenty friends regretting the move.

lifebreath · 22 February 2022, 12:43 PM

It was on my wrist here years ago, and it’s been on my wrist diving, surfing, swimming at the beach, boating, snow skiing, tactical shooting classes and competitions, tracking my car, in the pool, on all my travels, and it always looks great!

interestedwatcher · 22 February 2022, 12:45 PM

No - because I can't swim very well, and I'm worried if I drown someone may steal my Submariner whilst giving CPR etc.
