Do I need to see a Dr. I went to the cinema this evening to see American Gangster. Well I had on a fleece the watch was past the cuffs so strutting her stuff. It started to rain as I left the car towards the cinema and so I quickly pushed my fleece cuff over the SD to protect it from the mere spots of rain, that wer'nt enough to dampen the floor. Now considering its depth rating, whats going on in my head. Help

Merely proves you just passed the ultimate WIS test!

Congrats!

Letsgodiving · 17 November 2007, 09:30 AM

Hopefully this won't put you over the edge.

Superlative · 17 November 2007, 09:32 AM

dont worry its normal. I do the same thing even know the sub could take a hurricane of water.

Baptistman · 17 November 2007, 09:38 AM

Letsgodiving..... are you insane, control breathing, palpitations, clammy, shakes must calm down......

Lol-x · 17 November 2007, 09:48 AM

Hey, please be more considerate to your watch, next time carry an umberella

Bama · 17 November 2007, 10:01 AM

If you are insane then it means that I am too. I do the same thing sometimes.

Letsgodiving · 17 November 2007, 10:16 AM

I guess I shouldn't mention the shower it takes with me every day. I have the opposite problem, I try to get it wet every chance I can. I even stick my arm on the door of my car with the window down when it is raining b/c I like the look of it wet. I'm telling you, you are missing out on seeing all those little droplets of water beading up on the outside of the watch. I'm getting all excited just thinking about it.

Survival instinct? Coping mechanisms? Or, simply protecting the investment.

Well, I hope you come around before they cart you off in that thing. Do they strap you to the roof?

Mate for the first two weeks I took my sd off every time I washed my hands in case it got wet

Meanwhile the watch it replaced (GMT II) was on my wrist 24/7 for 10 years!! Its a new watch thing I think

shoppy · 17 November 2007, 08:46 PM

Don't worry totally normal to do so with a new watch. Wait till tou get your first scratch, then it's oh well.

That my dear fellow, is a mercedes A class and is a rapid response vehicle. Gets to incidents quicker than a normal ambulance usually. When ambulance control heard of your insane behaviour, they immediately dispatched a quick response vehicle.

SDman · 17 November 2007, 11:37 PM

I's perfectly normal I do the same with my SD then I again we take a shower together all the time mmmmmm.....

Ed Rooney · 17 November 2007, 11:58 PM

I reached into a clogged toilet with mine. My 3-year old likes to use too much TP. No worries.

I've always worn Seikos and Casios, so it would never occur to me to keep my watch dry.

arttay10 · 17 November 2007, 11:59 PM

No need to worry Jon.

Your only in early stages of the WIS condition...
Its when you get to this stage - that you really do need to call on one of your work colleagues help !!

My GMT II is a week old today... should I wash my hands with it on or just make a dash to the shower? hehe

f16570 · 18 November 2007, 05:07 AM

A natural reaction as a WIS.
I look to get mine wet as much as possible, so your initial fears will pass and you will shower/bathe & swim at every oppurtunity once you are over it. Enjoy.

thomas311 · 18 November 2007, 08:05 AM

when i first bought my SD, i did exactly that...took it off when i showered or washed my hands.

three months now, and a couple of superficial scratches, watch stays on when doin' the deed.

gotta say, it does look fresh when its wet

btw, how did you like AMERICAN GANGSTER? i thought it was very good. IMHO, the movie "completed" itself by showing that last 15min or so towards the end...always a fan of bad cops going down.

was very impressed with it, excellent film.

Downing · 18 November 2007, 01:06 PM

I've been looking at other watch makers as I'm getting ready to pick up a GMT or pilot's watch.

Much to my astonishment, there actually are high end watches out there that you should remove before washing your hands so as not to get it wet. Even some so called "sports" watches.

Amazing.

DC watchman · 18 November 2007, 03:21 PM

I soak my sub and get it dirty any chance I get.
