It will survive more than a swimming pool. Enjoy your trip and make memories while wearing the Datejust.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

 

It won’t even know it’s wet

 

Ummm. Enjoy your watch OP

 

If the watch is older than 5 years, I'd have the seals checked before I swam.

Other than that, its 100m water resistant so normally ok for swimming, not going down 100 meters for any newbies out there

I wore mine to 105 meters once, don't tell Rolex.

No problems.

However, I always take a sports watch of higher depth rating when on holidays. One never knows if one needs to go scuba diving or something when on holiday. That’s my thoughts. So, always better to plan for the ad-hoc and unplanned activities.

 

Great watch! And YES you can swim, shower, hot-tub, sleep, work, play, etc, etc.....
It's the number one reason I've worn this brand for more than 40 years with ZERO issues.....
I used to scuba dive with a Submariner, but swimming with a DJ is no problem.

Any given summer evening here I'll fool around in the salt water fishing, etc.....been wearing a DJ the past few years and would NEVER think to change it before any activity.....except for maybe stone mason work (which I don't do)

PS: Just an opinion - but I've also never traveled with multiple watches, fiddling about, on-off, off-on, hotel room safes, etc......Eff that....

 

That has been my exact experience. I've put exactly one (1) nasty ding/scratch on a watch by carrying it in a small bag while traveling. The irony...

One buys quality so it can be used.

Just asking for opinions dude. I normally swim with beaters or full dive watches.

Pretty sure the limit for recreational (non-technical) scuba is 40m; I'd think you'd be fine even on an unplanned holiday excursion. If you're going deeper than 40m, you'll have acquired a certification, and will be wearing a dive computer. A swimming pool? Water pressure definitely won't be an issue.

The above advice re: "check your seals if it's more than 5 years old" is good.

 

Swim. Enjoy. Great watch in or out of the water.

 

If you are asking, no.

 

Make sure your shoelaces are tied.

 

I’d swim with a DJ without a second thought. Good WR and screw down crown. Have a great trip.

I think you'll be fine 😎

 

THANK YOU. I looked for that article for an hour last night, but couldn't remember enough about it to get Google to show it to me!

 

What Your Watch Water Resistance Numbers Mean - Thrillist

www.thrillist.com

Link just for a point of reference. Though this guy seems to be a bit more conservative with his thoughts on water resistance ratings, but it isn't far off from what I've read on other sites.

If it were me? I'd take it out swimming and just enjoy. I like a watch that gets to "live". Worst case it might end up needing a service? But most likely it'll be fine.

 

That is a big plus in my opinion about about most of the models of Rolex, as you can go swimming with you watch! Vance.

 

With their screw-down crowns and 100m of water resistance, DateJusts are not meant to be taken into the water.

 

Have the seals check, otherwise you are good to go.

 

Concerns? None. Enjoy!

 

Wouldn't personally, only because I have a dedicated aquatic watch or two, but it'll be fine.

 

I saw your photo of an ALS on the beach, but that leather strap doesn't look seawater-friendly.

 

I wouldn’t, not because it’s not a very waterproof watch, it’s just it’s a very expensive waterproof watch.

Break out the cheap diver for the pool and beach, and then wear it in the evening.

Well that’s what I would do.

 

What do you think the Oyster in the name stands for?

Cause you can use it to shuck oysters?

It could be rated to 1000M and I wouldn't wear any expensive watch in the water. Splashing around in a pool, it's not inconceivable to smash your wrist against something that could damage the watch as well.

 

Enjoy that experience while wearing your watch!

 

Why would they proudly boast the OYSTER trademark?? Just wear it, scratch it, bang it, enjoy it day after day, every mark on your DJ will be a memory.
Cheers

 

There is an unfounded belief that swimming is possible because it is Rolex.
