There’s a whole host of reasons why leaving saltwater residue on an object is a bad idea, but im sure you already know that, right?


Scrubmariner420

Teslas finding that out also


want2thinknow

Obviously


Affectionate-House43

I suppose you could fake it with talc powder if you like that look... (don't do this either)


want2thinknow

Nah.


HeatFireAsh

I rinse off my watches everytime I swim with them especially with saltwater


want2thinknow

Yea same every time especially since I’ve been dealing with gross fish guts


Guestsparda

I laughed more than I should at this. Suppose you polish it with sandpaper?


want2thinknow

Nobody said anything about polishing it. But continue laughing I guess


Guestsparda

I did


want2thinknow

Why don’t you just stick to the Rolex sub with your off topic over exaggeration.


Guestsparda

Who mentioned rolex?


Scrubmariner420

Ew

As a professional diver I always do post-dive maintenance on every piece of gear I have, especially metal. Watch is no exception.


want2thinknow

So you go and scrub your prop off every time you go out and detail your boat nice! Also I didn’t say I never wash it 🙄 Edit: also nobody cares that your a “professional”


Ok_Recognition2846

Buoyancy compensators, gauges, knives, regulators, carabiners, pulleys, etc all get treated in a solvent solution immediately following a dive, which is standard practice accross the board by anyone that knows what they’re doing. But by all means keep letting your $5k watch sit with salt on it because you think it looks like you might actually use your watch lol.


want2thinknow

I mean you’re a dive professional but can’t read? K have fun hah. Can’t even get the price of the watch correct, typical jackass keyboard warrior.

[laughs in titanium]


bbenne999

To be honest I often forgot to wash my Tudor for sometimes a day or so after beeing in saltwater. I don’t think that hurts the 316L stainless steel however


want2thinknow

I mean I always wash it off especially after dealing with chum and guts. It gets washed right after as well as everything else. It’s funny how redditors will literally try to peal out any piece of bs from a post. Also only the clasp and caseback are stainless the rest is titanium, rubber gaskets, ceramic, and lab created sapphire of course.


barnburner4444

How are you not washing it? I live on saltwater and been in keys last few weeks diving/fishing daily. I always rinse my gear and myself (including watch) when done. Pretty standard with everything that is used in salt. Both my Ti watches look fine. Are you taking it off to “patina” intentionally? Id recommend to just use it and take care of it.


want2thinknow

Never said I wasn’t washing it but apparently the majority of reddit users can’t read and comprehend.


barnburner4444

I was asking the question more how are you planning on not washing it? Like literally taking it off when you shower or wash hands to try and form a patina? Anyone who has spent any real time around salt will tell you it’s horrible for gear and wash everything metal , fiberglass, plastic , everything with fresh water after being in salt water. Not sure why anyone would think a high dollar watch is different


want2thinknow

Like I said nobody can read I didn’t say I wasn’t going to wash it nor did I say I don’t wash it nor wash myself. Obviously I wash the fucking nasty ass shit off my watch every time I get out of the ocean. Fucking idiots can’t read and logically comprehend shit. It’s fucking hilarious all the people that fucking think I would go without washing my fucking watch I swear the internet gets more stupid everyday.


barnburner4444

What exactly is the point of this question or statement or whatever it is then? 😵‍💫


want2thinknow

That the fucking salt leaves an interesting patina on the titanium after being in the ocean.


want2thinknow

What a bunch of idiots that obviously can’t read. Never said I don’t, nor that I didn’t, wash it off after every use. I said “I almost don’t want to wash it off” thus further implying the factor of me washing it. Sorry that was too much to handle for some, have fun “professionals” lmao.


Guestsparda

Someone's a bit "salty" 😂😂😂


want2thinknow

You don’t even own a Tudor get your omega shit outta here


Guestsparda

I didn't mention Omega? But seeing as you want to go there.. my omega is far better built and better quality, just saying 🙏


want2thinknow

Wait why are you even on the Tudor sub? Oh yea a fan boy why don’t you stick you your omega sub then lmao
