Reply With QuoteDoes it have a screw-down crown? If so, I think it'll be alright. Clean and fresh smelling, too!
But without the crown? 50/50 at best, I think! Update the thread when you know!
My partner just announced that her Citizen eco-drive is in the washing machine; she put it on the bed and then stripped the bed and put it all in the washer.
I said it might well not survive, to which she replied, 'well, it's not the hot cycle.' Anyway, in a couple of hours we will see. St least it's not her Rolex.

I recently destroyed my lovely Eco-drive by dropping it from about 1.5 metres onto a quarry tile floor so they can definitely be killed-off. Hope yours survives though !

It just came out of the washing machine and seems to be ok. Time is correct and no sign of fogging. It could still,fail, but probably ok. Not so bad for a £120 watch. True value.
Not bad!!
I do like a Citizen sometimes and my daily used to be a Promaster that lasted for years and years before I sold it!!
Need to let Citizen know that they can add washing machine proof to their dials🤗

Well, there we are. If anyone claims that their watch is tough, we will insist that they put it through the washing machine test! Who's going to be the first to prove their Rolex is super resilient????
I serviced a 16610 Rolex Submariner that had been through a wash cycle and pulled out after a few minutes of the drying cycle. No parts required other than the normal wear and tear parts, the case had some serious denting that had to be laser welded back up.
The worst I ever saw was a Patek Philippe 5990/1A that had been through a wash with the crown unscrewed. This was destroyed and Patek estimated £24,000 to repair....
Had it been kinetic that would have probably kept it going for months
But did the washing machine survive??
