Listen, I have several loads to do each day and so find the bezel is getting more action than ever. With multiple loads, you need to keep things moving and can’t have the wash sitting down for hours.

Moving through the machines is easy enough. What I need is to figure out how to use the bezel to get the folding and hanging done... that's always where the wheels come off the otherwise efficient process.

I experience a little PTSD when I think of "watch" and "laundry" at the same time. This (non-Rolex) supposedly went through the laundry (in between being stolen and then found/returned 10 years later). That beat the hell out of the case, though it was still running fine after that whole mess.

I was honestly expecting crossing borders with an RM on the wrist but hey, this works as well ;-)

Sub is ok for laundry as long as you have your Daytona on for doing dishes

Is this an actual thing people are worried about? I always do dishes and laundry with my watch on. No issues with scratches or dings.

Glad to hear it's back home after a theft. That's a heck of a ride for any mechanical watch. Usually they're laundered through auction houses and not washing machines.

Just protect your wrist as you are entering your hand in and out of that laundry machine.

Message from your wife: Remember, family room needs vacuuming.

That's the Lange & Sohne "LAUNDR-O-MAT"!
