I don't think sunblock is safe for your Sub. You may have to send it in.

This is a great picture of a great watch. Pictures like this keep swinging me back to the 116622... Too bad when I see it in the dull lights of my AD I keep giving it back to the girl and saying "Let me see that two tone sub again..." Maybe one day they will let me take it outside in the sun. Cheers.

I cover mine with tin foil in the sun. It also inhibits mind control over my watch.

Now it'll get an uneven tan. Apply evenly next time.

It might be. I don't think that it is harmful for you. Sunblock can protect your skin from sunburn and skin damages. You may continue with sunblock or sunscreen with perfect SPF. Obviously it is safe for you.
