I think the consensus answer is 'yes'. That said, I know of 3 friends who experienced issues as a result of hot tub or steam room exposure. Maybe it was user error (i.e. Forgot to screw in the crown, etc.), or maybe they had just rolled the dice by extending the service interval for the watch longer than necessary? In either case, I just personally prefer not to take the risk.
So for me the pool and ocean are fine. I'll even bring it in the shower from time to time. But I wont subject it to prolonged submersion in a hot tub. |

Rolexes melt immediately when placed near hot water, you can send them to me I'll provide a good home for them�� Seriously though I've never had an issue in hot tubs

Yes you can. I always rinse my watch after with tap water to watch salt or chlorine from it.

Thank you all for the good advice. Side note, the only time I am in a hot tub is when I'm on vacation for a week/10 days once out of the year. So, I am sure it'll be fine given that it won't be often and the evident reality that it can take some heat.

I've just come back from holiday where my Smurf spent a fair bit of time in the hot tub!

Now that you mention it, I recall losing a whole night in a hot tub in Aspen one Winter's night. But my Expl.II worked fine...

I had to go to do some exercises for my damaged shoulder. I went during six months to the pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna three days per week with my 5513 and no issues. I always remember a comment done in this forum..."Rolex are built like tanks"

We've had a customer with an 18k yellow gold Daytona wear it in a hot tub in which the chemical balance was off and it stained the whole watch a dark brownish gold. Very unattractive. We refinished the watch to restore the color, and forgetting to screw the crown down is the other killer that is mentioned earlier.

It depends on the type of o-ring. Some might be temperature sensitive.
Does Rolex advertise technical specifications? I figure for a watch that cost thousands that is supposed to be a tool watch that there would be some sort of data sheet to go with it. I wonder what data sheet the Provided COMEX???? I have dealt with a lot of O-Rings (mostly nitrile duro 70 and 90 orings) in various applications and I can tell you this...a hot tub should not have a negative affect on them... |

Can I wear Rolex in a hot tub
I wear mine in the steam room, sauna and hot tub just about everyday. Been doing it for years. Never had an issue. Safer on the wrist than in the locker.
However, I do not do this with my vintage watches.

To each, their own but I always just take mine off for these types of things. Same with working out or just hopping in the shower. Set it aside for a few and then slip it back on when I'm done.

Hot tub, sauna all the time, zero issues. Nice way of cleaning the watch.
I never take it off. It may fall on a tile floor or get lost in the locker room.

Didn’t think it was worth starting a new thread, but wanted to solicit opinions on an issue I’ve now experienced twice after having a Rolex diver in a hot tub. First with a sub c and now my sd 43. Both developed distortion (peeling) of the AR coating under the cyclops after a few dips in the hot tub. I’ve read the above postings where there’s been no issue and I figured once was an anomaly, but twice. I feel like Bruce Willis. The crystal was replaced under warranty last time and got a nice travel case for my troubles - so, I’m not really upset more perplexed that I could have the same issue twice. Am I the outlier?
