Does anyone go swimming with your Submariner or Seamaster?

Of course it doesn't make sense to buy a Rolex or Omega for swimming.
I'm referring to those who already own these watches and they don't own cheap watches like Casio, Timex or cheap Seiko.
Only real reason to buy Rolex is that it is pawnable.
A friend from N-Ass days who's was an industrial saturation diver only trusts this Seiko watch, even though his pay enables him to buy a new Rolex every month. Only quartz because he needs to stay in decompression chamber for days, making automatic watch unfeasible.

Would you swim with a Rolex yourself ?I'm talking about swimming lah.
I don't own a Rolex as it's too chunky for me.
If I owned one, I would because it would not make sense for me to "buy another cheap watch" just to swim. If Rolex is what it says it is capable, then I see no reason why I should remove it when I'm in the water.
Many buy Rolexes for investment. In other words, keep it in box with paper and regulate it with a winder. Wearing it in water will devalue it. Chlorine in water will affect the watch surface one way or another as it is a chemical. Micro-scratches will also eventually appear on watch crystal no matter how scratch-resistant it is.
If you really do own a Rolex, I doubt you will subject it to any harsh environment, considering how much money you spent on it.
I wear them swimming too, sorry I forgot to mention that. Both pool and sea, they are meant to tahan depths up to 100m (explorer2), 300m (seamaster) and 500m (pelagos). The most I have done is about 5m.I'm talking about swimming lah.
I also swim with my SKX and Turtle. 200m. Best is I swim with my own modded watches. So far so good! But I make sure they are properly water tested when I am building them.
Wear Rolex submariner means must work inside a submarine?
It never crossed my mind to invest in timepieces.
So you might be right. If I were into investment, then surely I would "pamper" my Rolex.
What watch do you wear when you are setting off firecrackers ?
That one is night ops, so I wear my Luminox.What watch do you wear when you are setting off firecrackers ?
My watch stays on my wrist when I'm out of the house no matter what I am doing.
So have you done anything to your polar explorer's dial? I hope not.
So you have this thingy ?I also swim with my SKX and Turtle. 200m. Best is I swim with my own modded watches. So far so good! But I make sure they are properly water tested when I am building them.
Maybe he made the bezel rotatable.....
