Guys Serious Question....

...I almost always wear the YM to give my son a bath at night. The water is not very warm or deep so I know that is not a problem, but tonight he insisted that we use bubble bath. Did this in anyway harm my watch?



Just wanted to post a few pics of my pet.

No need to panic, Daren - you know Rolexes are built rock-solid, and the only parts that would be affected would be the seals, which are protected by the metal of the caseback and crown anyway.

However, I do believe that use of bubble bath with Rolexes does void the warranty, and you could have some serious trouble with the Nazis at RSC.

I was just hoping the bubbles did not turn the PLT bezel green, then again I could have a LV YM.

Would this be a good time to hijack this thread?

BTW, that top pic is very very good, Daren.

The watch will be OK but I hope you wore rubber gloves, otherwise those lovely soft hands might be affected.

For hands that do wash watches, make them as soft as your skin, with
new Rolex washing up liquid.

I am surprised they haven't marketed their own soap yet. Either buy this or you will void the warrunty.
