Can a smoke-filled room damage a Submariner?
Thanks Rolex-ites.

U5512 · 13 February 2013, 06:19 PM

Nope.

MonBK · 13 February 2013, 06:23 PM

Only the wearer.

I can assure you a smoke filled room will do a lot more harm to the people inhaling the smoke than any watch no matter the brand.

swatty · 13 February 2013, 06:27 PM

That's a new one, why do you ask ?

Monte Cristo · 13 February 2013, 06:29 PM

If its impervious to water at 300 metres below, don't think smoke can harm it a few meters above.

crowncollection · 13 February 2013, 06:56 PM

No

Peter99 · 13 February 2013, 07:22 PM

I can recall a conversation I had some years ago with an engineer from Rolex at Bexley that the greatest enemy of a Rolex watch is fine dust not water. The bases of this could be that water has surface tension which can restrict its flow.

Bangel · 13 February 2013, 08:24 PM

Only if the wearer loses consciousness from smoke inhalation and smashes the watch against something hard in the fall.

VICI · 13 February 2013, 10:01 PM

As much as water can. So No.

However, unlike a Rolex, people being exposed to the 2nd hand smoke don't have the tightness of a Rolex. So if we need to say yes so you won't smoke / be around it - then YES!!!

Vincent65 · 13 February 2013, 10:17 PM

Dude, what have you been smoking?!

JGX · 13 February 2013, 10:27 PM

Actually, it is theoretically possible. . .

Bit more here

SUBversive · 13 February 2013, 10:28 PM

Wonder what occurred to prompt the op? Where there's smoke there's fire....so it may damage the watch depending on how hot the flames get.

Have to agree this reminds me of a thread posted quite some time ago below.

Can the use of a mobile phone magnetize my Rolex? Should I be careful which hand I use for my mobile phone vis-à-vis the wrist I wear my Rolex on?

Is there any food, I should avoid when wearing my Rolex?

Can I wear my Rolex when I drive or only on motorways? Can bumps in the road damage it?

Can I wear my Rolex when I go to a night club or could disco dancing damage it?

Does smoke affect its accuracy?

All those questions, please help.

Yes it might sound funny but in the many many years around Rolex and on this forum,we moderators have seen most of the above topics as posts many many times over the years.I sometimes wonder why some buy a waterproof tough Rolex oyster S.steel watches,perhaps many today just to wear the brand.Because although Rolex watches are one of the toughest and most reliable brands on this planet.The way some Rolex watches are pampered today,well they might as well make them from glass, instead of one of the toughest materials today S.steel.

I wore my rolex in house fires all the time but it was under my turn out gear. I should have strapped on the out side to see if it could take the smoke but mostly the heat!

The Joker · 13 February 2013, 11:02 PM

I would suggest the watch switch to nicotine patches instead.

zeuloa · 13 February 2013, 11:31 PM

Haven't heard this one!

Roller07 · 13 February 2013, 11:50 PM

No, it will damage you though.

As long as it doesn't inhale

nick c · 14 February 2013, 12:23 AM

Make sure you change the batteries in your smoke detector

Mystro · 14 February 2013, 01:05 AM

Cigars and Rolex has gone hand in hand since the beginning.
