··Steve @ ΩFI, for one don't find this very funny, the oil from authentic Swiss Raclette cheese can and will permeate a watches seals much quicker than just normal water or most other liquids one encounters in normal, everyday life.... How can someone be so reckless? 👎

·I have concerns about the cheese resistance levels of my Speedmaster whilst eating raclette.
Is it safe?
Should I get drunk first?
Do I need to have been skiing/snowboarding, or is it appropriate to eat 2kg of melted Swiss cheese, whilst sat on my couch in pajamas?
Please Help!
Moon = Cheese, Moonwatch = cheese safe.
Globemaster has been proven to be wine repellant*, so if you want extra reassurance I suggest wearing both the Speedie and a GM then you can eat/drink as much as you like.
*old photo but some folks need to see photographic evidence.

·Well that's a relief! 😉
Wine with raclette
A light bodied, dry white wine with ample acidity is an ideal pair for sumptuous raclette. The crispness of the white wine will cut through the creaminess of the cheese, but the dry profile won’t overpower the raclette’s delicate flavors. Try a dry Chenin Blanc or a French white win with your raclette. A low profile red wine can make a splendid pair, depending on how hardy your chosen foods will be. For red wine lovers, a chilled Pinot Noir adds a hint of fruity flavor that’s a great fit with the cheese as well. French burgundy wine is a great choice as well.
The best bet: Fendant white wine. A popular grape in Switzerland and France (where the grape is called Chasselas) Fendant wines are light, fresh and perfect to pair with raclette.

·Typically there is no danger wearing a Speedmaster while scraping raclette. You only need to worry about it when you get into advanced raclette eating like I did this past weekend. Too much spinning metal to risk wearing a watch around.
Behold the mother of all raclette machines. The GT Turbo Quad-melter.

·What about pre-cheese?
I am a city man but lately I have relocated and live another kind of life. From hi perf Audis, wine bars and snorting raclette at partys to beat up pickups (with gun rack), moonshine and cow tipping.
I know my speedmaster can take an evening out in town - but is it OK to use it while milking cows? I have not mastered the craft yet and not every squirt goes where it is supposed to...
By the way - the cows love licking my pick up. Is that normal?

·Just take off the Speedy if the action gets a little heated and you end up fighting over the cheese ok!

·I once spilled spinach & artichoke dip on the pusher of my Breitling. It still works even though there was some type of cheese sauce involved.

··Pratts! Will I B******S!!!Raclette is barely a challenge for a Speedmaster, so of course it is safe.
Other gustatory delights may require a more robust depth rating. 🤮

·Just to be clear, Trex, it is NOT safe. Here the Speedy owner was fooling with temptation and ended up with this...is thus what you want...huh? Huh? It's a dangerous and slippery path, my friend.
Some may mock and smirk, but it's a serious business.

··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockIf only Dexter had been wearing a Speedmaster! It would have made his life better and taught him French. Chris, don't you fall into that same trap. It's a small step from omelette to raclette!

··Oooo subtitles!I once spilled spinach & artichoke dip on the pusher of my Breitling. It still works even though there was some type of cheese sauce involved.
I believe the depth rating of the Navitimer is actually negative, that is to say it is actually a height rating and will experience water ingress when it gets within 10m of water.
