I shower most Saturday's if I can make the time but I always make time to wash and gently massage moisturiser into my Rolex every other day. No sense in overdoing things...every day would be just silly.

I do if I have been wearing my Rolex alot. I used my wife's face cleanser which is soap free and even removes soap residue (that can cause bracelet wear from deposits). I think you should clean your bracelet with a non-soap/non residue product every two weeks to keep bracelet stretch away.

On trips, yes. I don’t want my watch to be found on a nightstand in Zimbabwe.

Yes I wear my watch in the shower and I shower twice a day. I sleep with it on too. I just don't even think about it. I only take my watch off to polish it with a microfibre which I do a few times a day. I bought my watch to wear so I wear it, always. ...plus, it looks great in the shower too.

For a brand whose history is rooted in swims across the English Channel, I find the idea that current owners wont shower with theirs depressing.

My swimming trunks are designed for sea swims, but I don’t shower wearing them (except on the beach)

I clean them in the shower. I keep a toothbrush in the shower just for that reason.

I don't usually shower with it (unless I'm at a hotel/AirBNB) but I did today because my dog licked my Sub playing in the morning. Cleaning is usually done in the ultrasonic at work.

Shower yes, make love, no.

Actually, I do. It's like winding it 400 times.
