Why buy a SD if you're afraid to take it to the beach? Wear and enjoy it!

Get a cheap gshock or something.
You’re not alone

Maybe it’s just us Brian’s

Wear it, of course! What’s it built for? It can take more of a thrashing than poncing around on the beach!

I like my Tudor Pelagos in NATO for the beach, but wear whatever you want, they are made for it

Can’t make memories with your watch if it isn’t on your wrist. Wear it. All. The. Time.

To the beach and beyond!!! It has the word "sea" in it for a reason. Wear it. Enjoy it! Let it frolic in the waves!! Oh and have fun at the beach :)

This is one of the reasons I love Rolex - because you can subject it to things I wouldn't even think about doing with say a Patek or AP - even their sports watches. A little water wash at the end of the day and my 16600 is good to go!

Is this happening, seriously. Rolex are not dress watches they were and are sport watches and can take what ever you can possibly dish out (yes even the PM ones). Unlike others I find that I do need a watch on vacation as often have various other meal reservations or plans and so having the watch on vacation is a must.

I used to beach and travel with a seiko or two but always missed having my sub with me. No more, life's too short...

Wear it.

I went to the beach at Lake Tahoe yesterday for Father's Day and threw on my GMT IIc and my wife asked me "are you sure you want to wear that to the beach?" I said, absolutely, why not? It's tougher than I am!

Wear it. I just went for a swim in a DJ 36 and that’s no dive watch.

Wear it; I’m wearing my sub on my vacation right now. Went up parasailing with it, snorkeling, beach lounging the whole 9!

I wear it everywhere, my motto is "it's safer on my wrist than in a safe" but that's just me.

I’m pretty sure the answer is written somewhere on the watch itself.
Just before the word DWELLER.

Wear the hell out of it. Years later, I would like a watch as seasoned as me.
