I am sure in a few years I won't care if I bang the hell out of it but I'm still in my honeymoon period I guess. So conclusion? Wearing it to the beach. Whatever happens I'm sure it won't be the end of the world.

Don't remember thinking about the salt and sand, just about having a good time at the beach...

I can tell you that I had a lot of sand in some places (shorts) and thought about it scratching my "bezel".

Just wear tight swim trunks.

RRGHOST1 · 24 May 2011, 05:19 AM

I would wear it to the beach but i have to take it off if i'm sunbathing, any watch annoys me to be honest if i am sunbathing.

wat(her · 24 May 2011, 05:21 AM

I would wear it. Just don't roll around in the sand. And rinse with fresh water if you go in the ocean

boogiebot · 24 May 2011, 05:27 AM

i probably wouldnt. just dont like the idea of a weird tan line on my wrist

hacampbell1360 · 24 May 2011, 05:53 AM

The only place a Rolex may not work is in space. Other than that, The DSSD will go anywhere on this Earth. DSSD is made for the Ocean, I would think.

jizeal · 24 May 2011, 06:38 AM

Drop the watch off with me before you goto the beach. Just dont come back looking for it.

Sherwooddavid · 24 May 2011, 06:39 AM

I sure would !

skolarikos · 24 May 2011, 06:44 AM

That's why I bought a rolex! To wear it everywhere! Enjoy your watch!

Absolutely, the DSSD was made for this type of activity. I would not wear a datejust to the beach however i would not hesitate to wear any type of sport watch, ie sub, seadweller etc. You purchased it to wear, enjoy it.

Actually they work just fine. Many of the early astronauts wore GMTs.

barters · 24 May 2011, 08:17 AM

Where's the double face palm guy?

kcmo · 24 May 2011, 08:31 AM

Absolutely

Wore my Daytona to the beach daily last October when we went to Mexico and enjoyed every minute!

stockae92 · 24 May 2011, 08:46 AM

Do it! I wouldn't even think twice :-)

But I would likely to wear mine on NATO

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!!

Rollie8 · 24 May 2011, 09:50 AM

No, you definitely should not. Only the Rolex SandDweller was made to deal with the conditions you will be facing at the beach...

I understand what you mean by honeymoon period, but the worst that can happen will be superficial surface scratches if that DOES happen. I wore my Datejust to the beach pretty often and the only place it got scratched up was the back of the case from where sand was trapped between my wrist and the caseback! I imagine wearing a nato would actually make this problem worse since the sand would get wedged between the nylon and the watch, but the safety of being able to afford a pin failure outweighs that.

My DSSD has yet to see the ocean but it will soon enough.

threemonkeys · 24 May 2011, 11:13 AM
