Ok guys I think I have the record for seeing the dirtiest deployment band. Met a friend I haven't seen in 10 or so years. Seen he has a nice submariner. He let me me check it out. I went to deploy the clasp and Baaam!!! Never been opened. He never opened it. Didnt even know it opened. Here it is guys. Dont get scared

OK, you win!

GerardoG · 10 January 2015, 10:57 AM

Wow!

fvfvsix · 10 January 2015, 10:59 AM

If he never opened the clasp, how did he take the watch off?

V.lats97nsx · 10 January 2015, 11:01 AM

The expansion link

Or originally put it on?

Ah?!

adawil2002 · 10 January 2015, 11:12 AM

A soft toothbrush and some soap, mine gets like that, just not as bad.

X2, that looks like it smells royally bad. Hopefully it wasn't over lunch that you discovered this

dgPltt · 10 January 2015, 01:02 PM

That is foul! Imagine if some buyer got that one day if he decided to sell. Glad you clued your buddy in.

V.lats97nsx · 10 January 2015, 01:07 PM

He never went diving. He told me he just took showers with the watch. This is why I dont. The watch other than that was in near perfect condition. I was shocked.

CabbageHead · 10 January 2015, 01:24 PM

Don't clean that. Keep going.. It reminds me of my selvedge denim-head friends who never wash their $300 jeans.

HogwldFLTR · 10 January 2015, 01:35 PM

Lucky his arm did get gangrene.

When I got my Mark II this summer I was pretty disgusted by it as well.

Dove37 · 10 January 2015, 02:22 PM

I put my DJ through the dishwasher once a month or so.

Effective system with no negative results for 35 years.

Wow! I nominate this for post of the year!

Brushpup · 10 January 2015, 02:42 PM

This won't happen if you care for you bracelet.... shower, swim or whatever. Once in a while at least, clean the whole thing.

SUBversive · 10 January 2015, 02:45 PM

Gross. Get some gas and set fire to that thing

broulstone · 10 January 2015, 02:46 PM

DJ band or entire watch?

The entire watch was spotless. Beautiful specimen. The diver expansion band has never been deployed. He wore it since day 1 of purchase without ever expanding the divers expansion. He didn't even know it existed. Letd just say my friend was embarrassed. I told him to go home and scrub that thing.

Hairdude1 · 10 January 2015, 03:13 PM

Wow

Nycturbovr6 · 10 January 2015, 03:15 PM

Yeah that's the winner

fmc000 · 10 January 2015, 03:43 PM

You should not touch it and call the National Geographic. There's possibly a never encountered before ecosystem down there.
