Going to Florida in a few days and going to hit the beaches. Should I wear my DSSD? Wondering if the sand will scratch it. What do you think?

Darlinboy · 23 May 2011, 07:58 PM

Absolutely - wear it!

HL65 · 23 May 2011, 08:00 PM

Of course!!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 23 May 2011, 08:00 PM

I wear my Sub to the beach every weekend.

bayerische · 23 May 2011, 08:02 PM

Seriously?

Wear it. I would take my day-date to the beach.

brettpaul · 23 May 2011, 08:33 PM

Every day of the week and TWICE on Sunday mate!!!

It will actually disintegrate and turn to dust on your wrist if you DON'T take it on the beach and in the water to seal the molecules together!!

Art 1 · 23 May 2011, 08:37 PM

I have and have never had a problem. It's made for that sort of thing.

mjclark32 · 23 May 2011, 08:38 PM

I'll have my sub on this entire mdw at the beach b

Let me get this right you have one of the toughest Rolex watches made today.And yes they are meant to be tool watches that are used by divers underwater,and many divers today dive from the shore.And as they need to dive in water mostly today seawater the shores in many case will be sand.And yes sand will get on the divers watch,and perhaps they will pick up the odd scratch.Anywhere near sand salt water just wash after in fresh cold water and yes you can get your DSSD wet.Just wear your Rolex in the elements it was designed for, no Rolex Oyster watch needs any sort of pampering.Scratches are a fact of life but easily rectified as part of normal routine service.

Mike1066 · 23 May 2011, 08:49 PM

Is this a joke? Of course you should wear it!

Numismatist · 23 May 2011, 08:57 PM

My SD lives in the ocean in the summer, and spends holiday in chlorinated pools constantly. It thrives on it! Still looks brand new.

CFUSION · 23 May 2011, 09:00 PM

Haha. I just remembered taking my seiko surfing and getting all kinds of sand under the bezel, never came out, grinded every time I turned it but I guess this beast is not seiko!

jamesbondOO7 · 23 May 2011, 09:01 PM

Please!..

KiKo · 23 May 2011, 09:27 PM

My biggest worry would be a watch tan

globalmedia33 · 23 May 2011, 09:27 PM

Why not?

buke45 · 23 May 2011, 09:28 PM

I wear mine, I just don't go digging through the sand with it on.

As Einstein would say it's all relative my friend....some Seiko divers are well and truly world class

....

RolexPete32 · 23 May 2011, 09:38 PM

My Sub LV once got buired in sand by my wife while on my wrist while sleeping on the beach. I gave it a good wash and it was fine. Sand hardly even got under the bezel even the bits that did washed out.

Lol-x · 23 May 2011, 09:42 PM

Do as you please, the watch is stronger than flesh
& bones.

johnbeth · 23 May 2011, 09:55 PM

The DSSD will blow up as its not meant to go into water. So dont do it!

Alcan · 23 May 2011, 10:00 PM

Rolex seems to think its ok.

"After sea-bathing, rinse your Oyster in fresh water to remove salt and sand":

psv · 23 May 2011, 10:03 PM

Seriously dude?!

Puffy · 23 May 2011, 10:06 PM

it is even UV proof/resistant

Annabell · 23 May 2011, 10:08 PM

Going to the beach is the only situation that requires action. Wash off with fresh water after you get back. Otherwise....Uh...yeah..it is a dive watch.

Justjosh · 23 May 2011, 10:12 PM

Wear it.

nauticajoe · 23 May 2011, 10:12 PM

Sure!

marcinthemiddle · 23 May 2011, 10:15 PM

At first I thought this was another joke thread....

Then I realized the OP was serious.

I mean, it's called a 'Sea-Dweller' for a reason.

bokmeipai · 23 May 2011, 10:16 PM

make sure you apply some waterproof sunblock on it before going to beach.

vukotab · 23 May 2011, 10:16 PM

DSSD is made for it, of course you should wear it!

That`s great watch and it would be a real shame to be just desktop diver...

jezza17 · 23 May 2011, 10:54 PM

A rolex DSSD and the beach. Who would have thought?

Yes, wear it where it should be worn. Dont even think about it.
