Do you wear it in the steam room at the health club
or do you lock it in your locker???

Stupid ? I know but just going out of town this weekend with
my GF and we will be in the spa so was just wondering...

Much safer on the wrist than in the locker.

The sauna will have no effect on your watch.....so just wear it without any worries!!

Skutt50 · 11 December 2008, 05:38 AM

I would use it in the sauna.
The watch will not get that warm since you are wearing it.

I would not leave it in any locker.

Nakow · 11 December 2008, 05:38 AM

Almost all of my watches go with me in the steam room except for the ones with leather strap !

X2..........

Thanks!
Just wasn't sure about the temp of the band getting
hot on the wrist, I wasn't worried about the watch itself.

I know the DSSD will have no problem in the sauna or whirlpools :)

Or even an Oklahoma TWISTER!!

Rolexshirts · 11 December 2008, 05:55 AM

Always wear it, the sauna, the beach, the water always keep it on a make sure that it get service once a year.

sea-dweller · 11 December 2008, 06:02 AM

Wear it ! Make sure the crown is down tight.

KJacques · 11 December 2008, 06:11 AM

I've worn my watches for decades in saunas, steamrooms, hot tubs, etc. If the watch cannot take more than what my own body is capable of then I picked the wrong watch. Luckily, I didn't and never worry about these things.

ippon20 · 11 December 2008, 06:41 AM

I will never take my watch in the Sauna! Not because the watch can't handle it, but because it brings back bad memories of me having to lose weight before a Judo or wrestling match. I will never step foot in another sauna again, nor will I ever wear another sauna suit.

ttannert · 11 December 2008, 06:42 AM

Wear it in the sauna or leave it at home.

WatchTimes · 11 December 2008, 06:43 AM

JJ it may even help me from blowing away in a Twister!!

RedShirt, how did you come up with yearly service???
Ive heard and practiced about every 7 years with most
of my Autos....

TT if I leave it home how can I tell them time while I am
on vacation??? A cell phone??? NOOOO!!! I use it for
everything else but refuse to start pulling out my phone
every time I want to know the time like some people!

coupe · 11 December 2008, 07:19 AM

Make sure the crown is screwed down and wear it. Make sure you have your towel on too. LOL.

Latrodectus · 11 December 2008, 07:39 AM

wear it...I do it all the time

Numismatist · 11 December 2008, 07:42 AM

How about a hot bubbling hot tub?

mattyo · 20 January 2009, 04:26 PM

What about the seals?

>>I thought I would do a search before creating a new thread..

I went for a swim in my sub-date and then had no-where to lock my watch up (read too lazy to go back inside) and went into the sauna room.

But thought won't my triplock seal melt / break down due to going from cool pool water to hot steam...

any thoughts?

Andad · 20 January 2009, 05:04 PM

No problems with the seals. I have seen seals swimming around in hot water and they seem to enjoy it.

Seriously the "o" rings in diver watches will handle far more extreme temperatures that you ever could so enjoy wearing your Rolex in the hot tub.

Singslinger · 20 January 2009, 05:08 PM

I agree with everyone else - no need to worry about wearing it in a sauna.

Z-Sub · 20 January 2009, 05:13 PM

Locker is one of the worst place to keep your watch.

cody p · 20 January 2009, 05:25 PM

i would have thought it would be hard on the gaskets, but after reading all these responses, i'll leave mine on the wrist in future.

aleeboy · 20 January 2009, 05:29 PM

I always wear it to the sauna... never thought of taking it off. Only time I take it off is if I am getting a massage done and they're working my ... wrist... bone.

oworkman · 20 January 2009, 05:30 PM

Just got back from Europe before Christmas, my Sea Dweller was the only thing I did not take off to go in the Sauna!!! The European way!

mattyo · 22 January 2009, 05:02 PM

Thanks all...

Tools · 23 January 2009, 02:33 AM

These are some of the questions that puzzle me...

Out where I live, it gets hotter than a jacuzzi, hot-tub, or a sauna during June, July, and August..

We go into those things to cool off..........

Rule of thumb, the watch will survive in conditions that would finish you off. i.e you can wear it for anything.

bodybump · 23 January 2009, 03:35 AM

why not just leave it inside the locker?? im sure they have a big watch hangin in the sauna right?

The Dude · 23 January 2009, 03:37 AM

If you drop it in the sauna, don't bend over to pick it up... just walk away
