I swear the posts on TRF get more and more ludicrous each day.

NO you cannot swim with your submariner!
It is placed in a glass display case to stare at like what everyone here does.
Good grief.

I keep my watch hand out of the water while I am swimming to protect my 35 year old Sub Date

TRS1 · 22 February 2022, 12:17 AM

Ludicrous.

karleone · 22 February 2022, 12:19 AM

The Submariner is the perfect watch to go diving! Just be sure the crown to be screwed before going in water and make sure to rinse it with still water after.

28mm · 22 February 2022, 12:20 AM

Totally fine to swim with. You might feel better if you wrap it in Saran Wrap just to be extra safe.

Tikandtokalot · 22 February 2022, 12:21 AM

I could only swim in a submariner if I was prepared for the "Fantastic Voyage "

brucethemanlee · 22 February 2022, 12:22 AM

If its not a vintage Sub and its pressure tested once a year and everything is ok....

then yes, you're a coward (your words not mine)

Romeojk · 22 February 2022, 12:29 AM

Of course I would, and have. I saved a long time to buy my Submariner but I do not baby it, I let it live. It’s the one single thing of everything I have purchased over my life that I do not have to worry about.

Chiboy · 22 February 2022, 12:29 AM

I think OP has a point. But then again, I won't wear a GMT when I fly.

The average person does not pressure test every year. So I don't think it's that strange of a thing to wear an skx instead of a sub while swimming or diving. (Especially for someone like me. I've got a mid 90s sub and never pressure test and only service if needed, which is rarely.)

Yes, of course. I don't dive, but I swim all the time with either my Submariner or Seamaster on.

So I swim with my Submariner all the time. Do I really need to get it pressure tested once a year????

same here 1985 sub I dont get it pressure tested no issues. swimming doesn't generate much pressure, now if you are going down 100 meters then yes

I don't disagree with you and never said it was strange to use an SKX over a Sub, which is why i qualified my response.

I'm just going by OPs posting as he's implying that he chooses SKX over Sub due to potential water issues. If maybe OP doesn't want to RISK his Sub at the pool party because he thinks he'll get robbed while drunk so he chooses his SKX.....then so would I. However i don't think that's the OP meant

No one says you have to.

I mean seals can wear down mid-year for whatever reason. But regular habit to test once a year gives peace of mind, for me. It takes like 45 seconds for my AD to stick into pressure test machine......done and free of charge

sexner · 22 February 2022, 12:52 AM

Submariner in water…

Some folks say there is no such thing as a stupid question…I feel we now stand corrected.

daytonaTBR · 22 February 2022, 12:54 AM

TheWatchmen · 22 February 2022, 12:58 AM

Asuuming this is a troll post. If not, the fact that the OP not only admits it but voluntarily started a thread about it is right on par with where the brand is now. Kudos to Rolex for the clever marketing and value retention. I feel like a dipsh*t for even having responded…too much coffee.

I’ve been swimming with my 16610 Sub for 31 years. I’ve also been skiing and paragliding with it as well as done many projects around the house and it just keeps on going.

God me strength why did you buy one of the toughest dive watches on this planet, if you are like you put you a coward to even go swimming with it .Although not a Sub my late 1990s SD has spent well over 600 hours at a average depth 20 to 60m plus underwater, salt and fresh doing what it was intended for. My early 1980s 5513 has done around 200 hours underwater, and both still ticking with no problems whatsoever, but both serviced and regularly pressure checked in there long life.

adawil2002 · 22 February 2022, 01:28 AM

Oh heavens, getting a diving watch wet, the horror. Time to part it out.

T.Mas · 22 February 2022, 01:29 AM

Pressure testing every once in while is always a good idea. A watch is waterproof only until it isn’t. The gaskets break down and are no longer reliable after a while, regardless if they have worked the last 30 years every Wednesday night swimming at the local pool. Imagine very old and brittle rubber bands for comparison. You don’t want a 30 year old piece of rubber protecting your Rolex movement. Testing gives you a good idea if you can rely on them still.
