Jones in LA
··Not in LA anymore.My personal rule: No screw-down crown, no immersion.
But there are other considerations as well, including the age of the watch and time since last service.

·... and what about skiing?? uh?
... and walking on a mountain covered by snow and ice??
... trimming the grass can become pretty wet and messy... what about that?!
... drinking a large diet coke and holding the glass with you left hand?
Can you do all these activities with a Speedy? 🤪

·Pure laziness. I normally don't shower with any watch, but sometimes I keep it on to get the gunk off...
When I owned my Seamaster I'd shower in it. I was going for a "never take it off approach".
This is amazing. Even back then they read
As for the crown. It's still sealed as long as it's not pulled out right?

·The seal inside the crown is always in contact with the case tube, regardless if the crown is pulled out to the setting position. Crown position doesn’t matter...
The new EdWhite has a different seal system. But i guess that doesnt make a difference since the crown would be still in contact regardless of the position.
No need to change crowns anymore during service 😀

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerHi Archer,

Yes, I am aware...
But again, position of crown doesn't affect water resistance, as I've said...

Archer, I've heard that before but coming from you I'm going to believe it this time.
Thanks for the info everyone. I guess I also have insurance so I should live on the wild side. I'm also going to read through this bad boy.
I'm excited for this one.

··Home For Wayward WatchesHard and fast rule here.
No watches are deliberately wet for any reason. Not Speedmasters, nor Seamasters, nor divers with screw down crowns, nor town watches, nor dress watches. Nuthin'! Such a rule might not work for others, but that's the way we enjoy the watches here.
I take that back.
Some years ago I accidentally gave my long owned Glycine beater a brief dip in Lake Leon while retrieving duck decoys. Service is kept up with it so no leak resulted, but henceforth it's removed to a handy hanging spot in the duck blind before wading into the water. I don't have a crucial need for a watch while dealing with duck decoys, swimming, or the rain.
