I shower once in a while with all of mine. Never an issue. The watches can take more than my body.

I take my watches off to shower, my wrists need to be pristine for my watches.

I use the timing bezel to make sure I don't run out of hot water.

No don't do it it will ruin it!



Hey it can take 10bars (100m or 300ft) last time I checked the water pressure coming from your shower head is no where near, as it would make wounds on your skin if it did.

SHOWER with it if you feel like it.

Always shower with the watch, as early as 1980 with my Seiko Diver's 150m. Never a problem.

There is no way a normal shower will damage your Rolex with water pressure.

I wear my watch to the gym and I'll wash it off with warm soapy water in the sink because I don't want to risk dropping it in shower. Sometimes I wear it in the shower, sometimes I don't.
