I know my DJ41 is waterproof down to 100 meters, but after having it about a month I still haven't gone near the water with it!

Having a slow night huh!

I think Steve should have a pop up message appear to a member trying to post a another “Shower with a Rolex, Looky a Rolex at Costco, Is it safe..., Price increase rumor” etc. thread and say “Really?? Try reading one of the other gazillion threads on this inane topic before you post”

You’re right. My poor forum etiquette and silly question is below the prestigious people of TRF, how dare I? Why did I not search for my moronic question before I posted?

I beg your “Presidential” forgiveness - oh no wait, I don’t, cause I DGAF. GFY.

Are you sure you want to wear your Rolex in shower? The stickers may fall off and that would be disaster, no thank you! That's why I only wear my Seiko turtle PADI in the shower!

I don’t, no point in risking it.. accidentally leave my crown slightly unscrewed or something... na not worth

Not cool. No need to be disrespectful to the members here. 99% of these guys deserve MAD respect for their knowledge about Rolex and willingness to share it. I, for one, am grateful that these guys take the time to help educate others about Rolex and the lifestyle that goes with it. Some may view it as a hobby, but it is big business and is taken very seriously by many people here. It is not a game, and you should apologize.

So they can make backhanded comments at my post and I can’t respond in kind?

It’s a forum.

I do sometimes just gotta be a little extra careful of hitting it on the wall of the shower or side of the tub.

That word...rogering..."I don't think it means what you think it means."

It IS a forum and there are bound to be different positions, but the GFY and IDGAF comments aren't cool at all.

To be fair you did click on it (even though it was quite clear by the title what it was about), read the posts and comment a couple of times. Had I seen this topic in the forum before I just wouldn't have bothered reading it.

[koolkas]

nope.... but its your watch and your money... go crazy with it...

[asiparks]

why would i not ?
i don’t wear the bracelet tight, the wrist gets plenty clean with the watch on.

re :blue Dawn, trust me, any soap made for washing people bits is milder.

[stefs]

yep. Once it's on it's on 24/7. find it amazing anyone is worried about getting their rolex wet! (unless its a vintage of course)

[mjclark32]

Easy way to clean it. I leave a baby toothbrush in there and hit it with some body wash. Comes out sparkling

+1

[fixinbones]

I used to shower with it on but the soup starts to leave a scummy residue if you don't clean it and wipe it down each time which I was too lazy to do every day.

Just make sure you blow dry it afterwards. Ha ha.

[wytrader]

Amazed how many people do not shower with watch on. The only time watch leaves my wrist is when I have to change date every 2 months or so.

Do any of you own expensive shoes that you do not wear outside?

Guess the SD's appeal to me for a reason.

[Yobber76]

Yes I wont own a watch that isn't waterproof enough to shower with.
Plus it gives the watch that shiny silky feeling!

[Rex-mars]

I don't think you should be wearing anything when showering, not even watches

[RedLs3]

Dont do it... there not waterproof

[Macnavara]

I always wear my watch in the shower....only thing worries me when i wear mine in the shower is over winding it

Thanks Jim. True enough. Can’t argue.

I guess I just felt not saying anything would in some way allow more of these threads to appear...but I’m beginning to think I am very, very wrong about that. And...that topics like this one must indeed be a legitimate fascination - if not, why do so many folks ask nearly the very same thing?

Cheers.

[landroverking]

I have when it's real dirty.

Sorry. You most certainly have every right to ask the question. As mentioned in my response to Jim, this topic must be a common pondering among some folks. No other way to explain the frequency that question arises.

No etiquette issues in your original post.

Please carry on.

Thanks

[HONDABBQ]

Not daily but every couple of weeks for a cleaning with a soft toothbrush to wash away all the grit and grime in the crevices.

[jrs146]

I don’t. I’m a come home and take my watch off kind of guy. So I don’t sleep, shower, etc. with them.
