What, you mean they are waterproof?

I scuba dived wearing my 16700 GMT about 15 years ago and its still fine

kirksingleton · 16 August 2019, 04:23 AM

I did with me tt blue ceramic sub and my ss ceramic sub, no problems.
I would get it pressure tested first and take it in for a complete cleaning after you are in the salt everytime ;-)

77T · 16 August 2019, 04:40 AM

The Sub should be fine as long as the gaskets are intact and compliant.

Now as it’s your first dive, there are lots of things on the boat (and that’ll be on you) to bang it on.

Those are called “character marks”.

I have been diving with my C blusey. Is awesome! There is an old closed thread buried in TRF about a tt blusey that was lost in the sea for over a year. It was found with a barnacle growing on it and still worked! Awesome thread to check out!

returntorolex · 16 August 2019, 08:49 AM

Over 100+ dives....so yes.

My Bluesy has seen many ocean bottoms.

i did it a few times in my GMT (not TT)

for me i think TT in the water is shark bait. Fishing lures are less reflective. The TT sea dweller, terrifying

locutus49 · 16 August 2019, 09:40 AM

I dived in a TT DJ and had no problems. Rolex was made for such things.

I have always figured metal shining will attract unwanted friends like Cudas regardless of fool, TT, or SS. Regardless, has never stopped me.

ive thought about it with PCL on a GMT as well. I suppose brushed is less reflective on a SS sub.

Its probably not a real issue, but you never know

My TT Black SubC has made many dives and snorkeling trips in Aruba and the Cayman Is.

fsprow · 16 August 2019, 11:37 AM

Many times in Bermuda with my old DayDate. No problems.

ltmgeller · 16 August 2019, 12:02 PM

Not all were scuba, done were snorkeling. Enjoy your watch in the water.

thedak · 16 August 2019, 12:06 PM

Couldn't of imagined not wearing it.

Excellent article about a 16613 and it's submarine escapades. If, despite the barnacles, it can hang, well then. . .

And this conversation is quickly degenerating given the ridiculousness of the thread. Hahahahaha! Can we please see some mermaids!?

But a true and possibly serious question.

You can and would have no issues except for the possibility of scratching the watch. I would go get a nice Seiko Diver and use it. Just because you can does not mean you should.
