Back to regular programming.

It'd be safe on your wrist in a sauna, your sking would probably sweat a lot before your Rolex does.

Worn mine in a sauna no issues whatsoever.

But like you said to another member here a while ago: I'll await your apology.

when did I mix anything up? the exact same concept applies whether it is a rolex, omega, AP, PP, whatever.

you completely incorrectly stated that you could leave a watch in a sauna for as long as you like with no adverse affects which is utter nonsense.

but still, carry on making a fool of yourself

Cleveland Steamer, just to clear things up, he stated that you can sauna as much as you want wearing your Rolex. This is very much different than leaving the watch by itself in the sauna, the skin contact will keep the watch at around 37 degrees.

So if you can stay in a hot sauna 24/7, then by all means wear your Rolex when doing so.

good luck with that

Wouldn't it be nice if Rolex provided a detailed owners manual covering everything their watches should and should not be subjected to.

After being on this site I think that manual would be longer than a novel.

Which model does this apply to?

I kid. I kid.

That Rolex boiling ad is stone-age old and pretty ridiculous.
Officially Rolex advises NOT using your watch in a Sauna.

It has something to do with the humidity of the air, which is trapped inside of your watch. You heat it up and when showering, the temperature immediately drops and may cause condensation at the inside of the watch.
Water drops may occur on movement parts or dial - no matter if your watch resists 30 atm. or more.

superdog · 13 January 2013, 03:23 AM

hey everyone. it's just a watch forum.

i get it, i do. i have gotten worked up here too. it happens and i am sure it will happen again.

but someone always steps in and, rightfully so, tells me to settle down.

so folks, please settle down. it is just a watch forum.

I think we all need to be reminded of this from time to time.

Agreed!!!

I do see why someone might get worked up occassionally though. Some ppl's every post drips sarcasm. And I do mean every post. But is it worth getting an aneurysm over? I think not.

Grumpy Badger · 13 January 2013, 04:03 AM

I don't know what the official line is but here are the facts of MY EXPERIENCE...

I was 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle this time last year. I was in the sauna (HOT) at least once every day and often much more often. I was going from -30c straight into the sauna and then straight back out to -30 once again.

I experienced NO problem at all with my watch either at the time or since. It is a "V" serial 14060m.

And thus increase box size tenfold? No thanks.

I go into a sauna about 3-4 times a week with my GMT. Even after 20 mins, if you touch your watch it is actually quite cool since it is in constant contact with your body and your body temp will barely go over 40C during that time, I can't imagine 40C having much affect on the oils or gaskets in your watch...

VICI · 13 January 2013, 08:17 AM

Safe - maybe.

Why would you want the watch to heat up and cause skin damage??

Leave the watch elsewhere and use the steam room / sauna w/o any jewelry - rings, chains, bracelets, watches, belly button rings :) :)

Gagebuilder · 13 January 2013, 08:40 AM

steam molecules are not smaller than water molecules.

140 degrees really is not much warmer than 98.6 degrees.

Rubber gaskets are used as seals in cooling systems of internal combustion engines that last, without fail, for many, many years.

Why is this so hard, for so many, to grasp????

Why do people think their watch can't go where they go????

Skin damage?

The sauna was "invented" in Finland, "Sauna" is a finnish word. Over here we go pretty much once a week in the sauna, or more. (70-100c) You can't get burnt and skin damaged by wearing your watch in the sauna. Well, OK if you leave it in the sauna oven and take it out with your bare hands.

OK - you're out of here...for this and a private correspondence you sent which reveals the nasty piece of work that you are. Back to the stone you crawled out from.
