Moose589 put his SeaDweller in the Dishwasher. He was curious to see what happens to a Rolex when put through the full cycle in a dishwasher. His dishwasher is a Kitchen Aid and it takes water from the hot water heater, it then boils it internally, then washes the dishes. It also has a heat cycle that dries the dishes at about 200 degrees. Moose589 took his SeaDweller, put it in the dishwasher on pot scrub, heavy duty, heat dry cycle. He opened the dishwasher during the wash cycle, checked the temp with an infrared thermometer, it was well over 200 degrees. Moose 589 then opened it during the dry cycle to check out the steam. After a complete cycle, he took the watch out, which was almost to hot to hold, and rinsed it with cold water. Dried it off, and put it on his wrist. How's it running? Perfectly. There is no doubt in Moose589's mind that any modern Rolex dive watch would survive this.

Totally asinine IMO. Some people have their heads up you know where.

Rolex used to run an ad decades ago in which they actually boiled a watch. So I don’t think the heat will hurt it in the dishwasher. Now if you use this dishwasher method on a regular basis over and over again not sure what would happen. Maybe nothing?
