P.S. How old is your watch? When was the last time it was pressure tested? [nt]

Want to hear form the experts on this one.
Is a DJ suitable for swimming? Not that I would, but if I chose to keep it on for lack of a a safe place to put it, could it tolerate a dip in the pool? I choose not to swim in any of my watches so this is more rhetorical than actual scenario. I believe D...

A famous woman diver, is known to use her gold DJ for diving. It must be good enough for it. Tough oyster it is. Photo Credit: Rolex/ Alexandre De Brabrant ...
That’s right!
Amazing innit? To her the bezel doesn’t matter anymore, and surprisingly she prefers her DJ to her Deepsea.
DJ has 10ATM WR
But it s really underrated ,you csn swim,steambath,,sauna,hottube if you want w/o any problem .Rolex oyster case and oem gaskets lasts at least 8-10 years(sometimes even more).
100 meters is a lot...
...if you've got a decent O-ring then it shouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't hesitate to let my wife swim with hers...
No problem at all, the DJ is a true all rounder!
Only make sure that the crown is fully screwed down.
Who goes more than 150 ft under water. Leisure divers go no more than 200 ft.
Proffesionals divers, go more than 300 500 ft. And a Submariner, SD can hack that so a DJ can be used in a leisure sports dive. My take. Geross. 😊
As mentioned before, make sure your crown is screwed down completely.
Also, as an extra measure after your swim, rinse it off in clean water to remove chlorine or salt. Enjoy your swim! -John
Serviced by Rolex probably about 6 years ago. It is a watch that is not worn every day,
it is part of the rotation along with my other watches.
A great question
Not sure how long the gaskets hold up, but most manufacturers recommend changing them every 5 years or so. I heard the seals and gaskets degrade with heat/soap/possibly UV/chlorine etc
Yes, and any major watch retailer, whether they carry Rolex or not, will happily test for you.
"Would you like to try something on while you wait, sir?"
Absolutely! But wash the bracelet and case with fresh water after swimming.
You want to get all those pool chemicals out of the watch after swimming. Chlorine has the possibility to chemically react with certain alloys in the metal, so don't be surprised if there's a slight patina. Definitely get all the salt water out, as it can...
Its not about the depth you dive. The more you go up, the more dangerous because the depth pressure helps keep the watch close. And with the DJ, its not about the crown, but the crystal.
Talked to a Rolex watchmaker and he told me that this is the DJ´s biggest concern, so i would probably only swim with modern DJ.
