Exposing a Rolex to Chlorinated and Salt Water - Does This Reduce Service Intervals?
As far as my (very) limited knowledge goes, most Rolex pieces have a water resistance of at least 100 metres. The divers go beyond. I know they can generally be safely worn in the rain, in the shower, while cleaning my teeth, washing my dishes, yada yada ya.
However, does frequent exposure to salt and/or chlorinated water call for service intervals of less than the now recommended ten years? Or, does rinsing the watch in clean, fresh water after swimming (which I would do anyway) help to negate the possible effects of salt/chlorinated water? I'm thinking along the lines of seals and gaskets being more prone to wear in salt/chlorinated water.
