The Dive Watch Connection

All this "don't swim with vintage", " be careful with that", "better get a boutique diver for real swimming" I mean come on, its a Rolex Sub. 32 years young. You guys are just silly. I knew it would be fine.

~104 meters should work no?

wear it for what its meant for!

I wear my 1980 Tudor Sub in the water (pressure tested of course).

No that was DOXA that advised not to swim with their vintage stuff that they service.

Now it's time for the obligatory watch going for a dip in the pool shot.

Might as well go for broke and test it out in a hot tub

Cool! Get that watch in the water!

And if it leaks, please remember that my name is Matt Wu. That's M-A-T-T-W-U.

If my 1970's Tudor snowflake can pass I knew your newer sub should have no problems now take it to the beach.

I could be as deep as 6ft underwater and in 4 ft surf.

Can you shower with a Rolex though?

Not if you use soap. It changes the viscosity of water and allows it to pass right by the gaskets...

Yeah, and don't forget to screw down the crown...

Everyone know's that the Rolex tripplelock is impervious to water even when you fail to screw it down.

I was caught in a rain shower. Is my dive watch ruined? I had an umbrella, but I think my watch was splashed by a few rain drops.

All good to go then Bill

That's what they say.

So I've bought Pam, IWC, and Omega x2 from this AD in the last year.

When he came out he said "don't forget to screw down the crown."

He went on to say its he number 1 reason they see watches with water damage.

I accidentally peed on my IWC AT last week. Are three drops of piss equivalent to 2000m of sea water?

Probably the same folks who bring their automatic in for a battery repair.

I was at a networking event recently and noticed that the lady I was talking to had a brand new Rolex Datejust on. Evidently it was a gift for a work milestone. She had no idea that the crown was supposed to screw down - you'd think someone would give you a heads up when giving a gift like that.

The instructions probably say something about that...

I bought my wife a vintage datejust for Xmas a couple of years ago. I never mentioned the screw down crown to her. She kept bringing it to me to set the time, until I finally asked her why she wasn't doing it. She said that she couldn't figure out how to pull the crown out and didn't want to force it. It had never even occurred to me to mention it. I had become so used to screw down crowns that I forgot that a lot of watches don't have them, particularly quartz watches (and she had a pretty nice Raymond Weil before I bought her the Rollie).

At least she didn't try to force it. If you're reading this honey, I love you!
