Try not to get it wet, though.

landroverking · 23 May 2011, 11:10 PM

Yes would swim in the Gulf with an 18k Sub.

theloxmyth · 23 May 2011, 11:13 PM

Naw, wear an Omega...

or a Rolex.

DG123 · 24 May 2011, 12:23 AM

I would not wear a Rolex to the beach. Sand is hard to clean out of bracelet.
If you own a G-Shock, wear that one to the beach.

Jibba · 24 May 2011, 12:48 AM

I wouldnt wear mine to the beach, but it appears Im in the minority here.

Jake B · 24 May 2011, 12:58 AM

When I go to the beach, so does the Sub..

I always wondered about that - with my Sub C - what happens when small grains of sand get in between the bracelet links or between the bezel and the watch. I haven't popped the bezel off my Sub C yet, but how does one clean their watch after a rough day at the beach?

Well, I'll find this weekend, but just curious...

I would wear my Rolex to the beach, I would wear my Rolex eating a peach.
If the bracelet has some sand, wash it off by hand.

Is there some policy or mechanism where you can force people to have to return their dive watches?

DCgator · 24 May 2011, 01:11 AM

Wear your Seiko instead if it makes you more comfortable. Your DSSD is only good for the shower, swimming pool or when it's raining. :D

Numismatist · 24 May 2011, 01:12 AM

WARNING: Just make sure you don't go down to 12,801 feet, that would be a real disaster...

johnnyc · 24 May 2011, 01:12 AM

can I wear my GMT on a plane ???

dalip · 24 May 2011, 01:29 AM

I'd wear it back also.

ElPrimero · 24 May 2011, 01:34 AM

And one more for good measure

Rebel · 24 May 2011, 01:40 AM

Already been there and done that. No problems. Go ahead>>>>>

cjnesher · 24 May 2011, 01:42 AM

I live in florida and you should know, we're closed the next few weeks... Sorry.

GerardoG · 24 May 2011, 01:53 AM

WEAR it! Don't make the same mistake I made, having 'safe queens'. These babies are meant to be worn, enjoy!

Onikage · 24 May 2011, 02:06 AM

You won't have to worry about the bezel! Personally, I wouldn't go rolling it around in the sand. I'd be nice to it. As for a few grains getting on it (with the sea breeze or whatever), wash em off! Oh and give it a good soaping up with liquid hand soap at the end of the day to get all that salt water off it (most hotels have liquid hand soap in little bottles :D) Have a good time bud!

Christiaan · 24 May 2011, 02:20 AM

No...

CFUSION · 24 May 2011, 02:39 AM

So I go surfing, shark bites off my hand, there goes the rolex. Decisions.

Stop passing misinformation. I just called Florida and they said they are open.

drockadam · 24 May 2011, 02:44 AM

If I had a Rolex, it would go everywhere with me.

Route 66 · 24 May 2011, 03:24 AM

What do you think it was made for??

s1m0n · 24 May 2011, 03:31 AM

This was almost 4 years ago to the day, I think my Sub was about 2 mouths old.

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

Simon

jamesbondOO7 · 24 May 2011, 03:32 AM

What do you think?

CFUSION · 24 May 2011, 03:34 AM

LOL. Funny stuff. No, I know the DeepSea can take the beach and then some. Just curious about sand getting into some parts and not being able to get it out. Also wondering about it getting scratched. Should I worry about getting a DSSD scratched, well yes, right now anyways since it cost me 10 large and its brand new. 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.
