Whatever you do don't buy a Yacht-Master. There's a fault in the red paint on the second hand where it never dries so you have to keep wearing it or the paint runs off & on to the dial.

That's why they have a poor resale value. The owners can't sleep because they have to keep moving their hand up & down.

Same. Soap up my head with 'poo and use the bubbles to give the explorer a good cleaning. Rinse and towel off.

It depends on where the shower is. At home, always, in more public areas, the watch stays on.

I hear you can only shower with the watch if it's a Sub. All others beware...
