We're not discussing the risks of driving through a car-wash in a convertible, with the roof down, and the Mona Lisa on the back seat, after all! Did someone say sarcastic?

Enjoy it!

at genève plage there used to be a sign: "do not wear your watch into the water, unless it's a rolex - the most waterproof watch in the world."

that should tell you something....

Swim and dive with your watch .. enjoy it

I've found that warm water and liquid dish soap works very well. After rinsing I dry with an old soft t-shirt. I did that at least once a week on my 116200 for over 2.5 years and when I traded it in it in it looked "like new"

Don't want to go over old ground here but might take it swimming today which is fine (chlorine indoor pool).

What about a jacuzzi ?. Will the heat be ok ?.

*ducks for cover if this has been covered before......

Yes, it's fine. Waterproofness is the basis of Rolex's reputation. One of mine is a plexi model that's older than I am, and I don't hesitate to take it swimming, sauna-ing, into the ocean... that's what it was designed for. In fact, keeping it clean and rinsing it with fresh water is good for the watch.

Besides, the safest place for your watch is generally on your wrist.

One notable exception is gold in hot tubs.

Gold is harmed by Bromine, which is a common treatment/additive to hot tub spa water.

Chlorine, in high enough concentrations, is no friend of gold either.

There are many solvents, chemicals, cleansers and the like that we should keep away from our watches and jewelry for a variety of reasons but many do not think twice (I've done it too) of jumping into the hot tub with gold on. If the chlorine concentration is high enough and/or if Bromine is in the water, we are doing our gold no favors.

5,000m depth? Wow! New DDSSD?
