i don't really do it, but i hate the awkwardness of bathroom attendant interactions, i might try it though. I usually see a bathroom attendant and just leave. Its kind of a phobia. This could be just the thing to change the focus.

I thought you may have been winding me up, but I couldn't help but wonder. I don't like bathroom attendants .. They kind of creep me out

If you can’t trust a total stranger in a public toilet, who can you trust?

Well, it depends: Are you going to the urinal or the cubicle?

Both are dangerous. The urinal is easy to retrieve if your watch were to fall off your wrist into the bowl but you immediately get splash back when going for a wee. I would use heavy detergent after using one, every time.

The cubicle is safer (Depending on what part of the world you're in, make a thread if you're visiting another country) but if the watch fell off, your diving watch will be tested as it plunges into the deep water. Make sure the gaskets aren't worn.

Truth be told, I would leave your watches at home if I were you.

Safe as long as it has been pressure tested recently.

they have name tags, so that means they are official right?

Be worried of the fake bathroom attendant they are into some weird stuff to hang out there on a volunteer basis.

I think you’re ok as long as they wash their hands between customers.

Now LOOK! Like I told the cops, I was just washing my hands really really well. So what if it took two hours.

Well... it was a Hublot. Probably got it from a grey dealer for 70% off.

Sure, dive right on in.

Be forewarned, from personal experience the water is cold... and deep.
