I mean will the corrosion resistant qualities of the 904L steel be enough for my build-up of dead skin and body oils over a period of time from an appearance perspective?......not mine as I am a closet Zombie, the watch!

Yea it's okay unless you body oils are toxic.

Easy E · 5 March 2018, 08:59 AM

Let's be clear here, you must shower...the watch, not so much.

I personally clean mine with mild soap and water every now and then, not regular just when I think about....the watch, that is.

ok to shower
use mild soap and clean tooth brush on bracelet and links to prevent buildup
to prevent subsequent bracelet stretch
discussed multiple times before
ok to shower be sure crown is down
avoid gunk soap and oils

Not sure what’s worse, the inane inquiry or the naively studious reply.

Oh, the reply for sure. Of which I took great amusement in participating. Its not nearly as bad as the gas pump questions for a few weeks back. Well maybe close.

When I shower with my Rolex, I always get soap scum in the bracelet clasp. That drives me nuts and I have to bust out the Q-Tips.

Yes, it's OK not to shower when wearing your Rolex, that is your prerogative.

However, I would suggest removing it once in a while to allow for a shower.

But don’t even start thinking about a tub-bath...

One of the applications for 904L stainless is high corrosion resistant pipes in chemical factories. So unless you are the Toxic Avenger, it is perfectly fine to have your Rolex touching your unwashed and possibly smelly, greasy skin. However, I wouldn't advertise the hygiene angle too much.

Ask Scatola to make you a waterproof winder and store it in shower.

If you don’t shower with your Rolex on it will become more susceptible to demagnetization while you’re sleeping and scratches and movement failure while you’re lifting weights. That’s why you should.
