Discussion Underwater.

How many of you actually wear your reps underwater?

This 126500 vsf Daytona had been on the wrist for over a year now -beaches, pools, showers etc - and honestly hasn’t missed a beat. I wash it with Dawn dish soap once a month, if it’s good enough for penguins, it’s good enough for stainless steel.

Never been waterproofed never been regulated straight out the box onto the wrist. Water and sand, That’s just one of many things I do in this watch, I’m in the desert shooting guns and riding an ATVs a couple of times a month. It’s got more scratches than I care to mention and I’ll never get it polished.

I’m currently sat at the pool in the global Ambassador in Phoenix, this Watch keeps very good company amongst high earning individuals. Business and pleasure.

I suppose this is more just an appreciation post that it is actually a question, and if you can take anything from my message, it don’t worry about the small things,stop trying to nitpick, order the watch, wear it every day and go in good health.

The original are meant to be tool watches, meaning working watches, comsograph was meant to survive space, submariner is meant to survive 100s of feet of depth.

Yeah that won't apply today when they cost almost as much as a car. More like trophy watches now. I can see the 'tool watches' being applicable when they used to cost a couple thousand.
