Sure whatever you like.

Most watches can get wet...awesome! But I frankly don't see the point or need to wear it while showering.

Bluesy MUST be worn. Period. Funny seeing all these hulks and batmans that dont even have a scratch on them.

And BLING BLING BLING everyone loves it. Flashy? No one is looking at you and no one cares. Who cares. Bling it up.

Best to throw away the box and papers. You arent selling the bluesy. EVER
Oh , and y'all with the APs that are so afraid of a little water. Funny.

BLUESY FOR LIFE

And you, with the ploprof, dude its not a sub. Period. But enjoy it. At least its unique.

I wear my Speedy for a run every morning, and it stays on my wrist when I shower. I've even used the pushers in the show.

Now that, gentlemen, is it's done.

I've literally used my sub as a diving toy in the pool for my nieces. Throw it in the deep end, they dive and get it, repeat until they're tired.

I take all my watches in the shower. I don't own a non water resistant watch. If it can't do the shower I don't want it!

I shower with all my modern waterproof watches, no matter the brand, as long as they are up to date on service. I am more careful with vintage pieces. Those I remove before showering.

ENOUGH with the nice collectors who want to keep their subs in boxes and talk about papers. No way. BLUESY is getting worn. BLUESY is getting wet. BLUESY is getting out there and FULL SEND bluesy is hittin it hard.

WEAR your subs. And see you underwater with my bluesy. Cant wait to find one with the rare diamond dial. HAHA i laugh at panerai cuz i got a SUB . I dont see nautilus or aquanauts talking about the real water that will surround the SUB. SUBS are ready and SUBS are going under water. And love the bling to keep it real in the two tone! This is the way.

SUBS are ready for the WATER.

JJ WOULD agree.!!!!

For you PM fans that wanna go low key with the WG smurf --- heck no. Go HIGH key with the YG version. love it and live it - bluesy is changing the world of subs

Exactly how I am too. I dive with my watches, but treat them like my other dive gear... rinsing salt water off immediately after the dive, avoiding extremes, etc. I use the hell out of the watch, I don’t worry too much about scratches as they happen naturally when you use any instrument... I just don’t beat it up for no reason.

The beauty of a Rolex is that they are very hardly watches. I wash my DD at least once a month. As long as the crown is closed, there should be no problem. If you can’t wear and enjoy your watches, don’t buy them. They are made to be worn and enjoyed.

I’ve been showering twice a day with a Rolex on my wrist for the past 11 years.

Whichever one i’m wearing goes in the shower with me in the morning when i wake up and in the evening before i go to sleep.

That’s how they stay clean.
