As you folks know, one of our members(ac/dc)posed the question of a watch surviving a cycle in the dishwasher. Well, I just happen to own a dishwasher, I also just happen to own a Rolex Sea Dweller. The dishwasher is a new Kitchen Aid, it takes water from your hot water heater, it then boils it internally, and washes the dishes with the boiling water. It also has a heat cycle that dries the dishes at about 200 degrees. What I did was take my Dweller, put it in the dishwasher on pot scrub, heavy duty, heat dry cycle. Here's the pics.............................



















As you see, I opened the dishwasher during the wash cycle, checked the temp with an infrared thermometer, it was well over 200 degrees. I the opened it during the dry cycle, check out the steam. After a complete cycle, I took the watch out, which was almost to hot to hold, and rinsed it with cold water. Dried it off, and put it on my wrist. How's it running? Perfectly. There is no doubt in my mind that any modern dive watch would survive this. OK Jimmy Boy, I'll be down to Edisto to pick up my case of VO next week. Your comments or questions are welcome....Thanks....David
