Ok, I realize up front that this post is useless without photos. I promise to take a few tomorrow of the salt-encrusted bracelet and ocean-smudged crystal to prove it!

I'm on annual family vacation and wearing the living dickens out of my Sub LV each and every day. I've been boogie boarding, body boarding, sand castle building, napping in the sun...you name it. The Sub definitely develops some patina as each day winds down, but I just keep it on the wrist and scrub up in the shower to make it sparkle and shine like new!

I worry a little bit having such a nice watch exposed to these crazy days on the beach, but I reckon it was built for this and more. I'm certainly developing some great memories.

Who else rocks theirs on the beach? Let's see some photos and hear your stories.

Regards,
Eric

P.S. Actually, here is a photo from July 1st.

That's what they're made for! Building memories!!!

Great photo, Eric

Nice photo of an LV with the black bezel. I like it !

Speed · 6 July 2010, 11:31 AM

MAXI-MAXI Fun time!

tgoose1 · 6 July 2010, 11:42 AM

Good looking watch, at first glance it looked like a brand new, late 1970's 1680 vintage Submariner. Guess I have vintage on my mind lately for some reason, enjoy and use the hell out of it!

very nice... i like green better on LV though.... :)

sakuraba · 6 July 2010, 02:45 PM

You're a brave man, Eric!

I get worried washing my hands with it on.

isolator · 6 July 2010, 03:01 PM

Good show Eric!!,
Life is short.
Wear that watch and enjoy it.
I test drove my second sub for 11 years which included surfing, scuba, rafting (almost lost it in a class 4 rapid), working on a buddies old Ford truck (scratched the cyclops on that one), mountain biking, sawzalling (yep, just made that word, think home demo), and just about everything else. In the end, never had it serviced (did not need it because it still kept awesome time).
Wound up selling it for what I originally paid for it only to buy an LV later that is on my wrist right now.

Enjoy it. It's your watch.

To the OP.....The LV is made for all that and much more!!
After a day at the beach,a quick clean and it's ready for a night on the town....

dwr · 6 July 2010, 03:16 PM

For some reason, you feel better or different when you wear a Rolex.

valentine · 7 July 2010, 12:10 AM

jnkay · 8 July 2010, 10:55 AM

Myy ss sub is THE watch I wear to the beach, the pool, yard work, whatever and it still looks great!

jrssv · 8 July 2010, 11:29 AM

If you have a black bezel is it still an LV?

Art 1 · 8 July 2010, 11:32 AM

I have worn a 16613 to the beach many times. Never a problem.

Sporting Lisbon · 8 July 2010, 11:52 AM

Submariner to the beach?

I wonder how the bracelet links look like after kissing the sand.. lol

(Or it doesnt get scratched?.. I am not sure i could test it

)

TimeOnHand · 8 July 2010, 11:59 AM

My Rolex watches are put through the same test of life as me... they go where ever I go... flying... scuba... paragliding... jumping out of airplanes... sailing.... and the toughest test of all... Parenting!

Wearing my LVB today...

Eric88 · 8 July 2011, 01:57 PM

I was taking a momentary trip down memory lane and found this thread I started just over a year ago about wearing my beloved Sub LV on the beach.

Well, here it is a year later and I'm wearing the heck out of my Sea Dweller at the beach!

Let's see more photos of Rolex watches on the beach!

HongNinja · 8 July 2011, 02:21 PM

This post brings back some memories for myself as well. I remember wearing my Sub on the beach in Hawaii on my honeymoon, and although these things were meant to be beat up, I pamper my watches like mad, so I was hesitant to go all out... I got over it. : )

Here's a pic from a fantastic beach in Kauai.

Yeager · 8 July 2011, 09:33 PM

Took my 1680 to the beach on Memorial Day Weekend....

weasel642001 · 8 July 2011, 09:45 PM

Taking my LV there today. My favorite beach watch

Is it safe to get tattoos while wearing a Rolex? LMAO

kokota · 8 July 2011, 10:57 PM

Here's my Sub-C at the beach a couple of days after I bought it...

And here's my Tudor 76100...

Oh don't you worry. It is still en force. Note that this is a thread from 2010 and I just bumped it for 2011 with my SD picture. The real test will come in 2012 to see if I can bump this again with the SD.

Hansch99 · 9 July 2011, 12:13 AM

Ahhhhhhhhhh! It pays to actually read the thread.

mjclark32 · 9 July 2011, 12:20 AM

Wore my sub last weekend in the bay, on the boat, on the waverunners, to the beach, out on the town, in the bars... on and on and on... didn't take any pics though. Guess I have a good excuse to get back down to Stone Harbor.

Watch Fan · 9 July 2011, 09:02 AM

I wear mine swimming, boating, jet skiing, or whatever. That's what it's made for.

nauticajoe · 9 July 2011, 09:06 AM

Awesome pics guys!

Doctorsti · 10 July 2011, 02:30 PM

wore mine for a week at the beach. 5 days on the bond nato and 2 days on an isofrane 20mm!
