You may exceed your max bottom time and have to take a chamber ride.
answer was this...........

ONLY mechanical movement watches will be affected by magnetic fields.

If you apply a a magnetic field to a Rolex while diving, it could have a significant error on measuring bottom time. You see, as you dive deeper, the greater gaussian effect of the earth's core will exert a much stronger force on the watch movement. Remember the right hand rule. It should be obvious here. Not only that but I would posit that the diver may potentially experience a shock due to the increasing electric field generated by the two magnetic poles, (your primary and your octo would turn into opposing dipoles), combined with the proximity to the earth's core. Two opposing dipoles are depth are deadly. (Faraday's corollary). My advice is to use a Casio. It could save your life.

Due to the potentially disastrous consequences of diving with a Rolex.

WOW he totally lost me any of you Commercial divers know anything about this?????


I am going to sue this guy for passing of my work as his own!!

I made this up two weeks ago

I was told by several commercial divers not to wear my Rolex while diving. They insisted that I learn to swim first!

If you do you would atleast be able to test how much depth your Sub can withstand
