Apparently you can wear a Rolex for washing up only if it still has the stickers on.
I'd say only if you have a cagoule over it with very tight elastic at the wrist ends. Make sure it's an 'up its own backside' brand too.

The thing to consider here is the force of angular momentum on the movement produced by the stirring motion. Of course, this is more of a consideration for people who a) have a lot of sugar in their tea, b) use cups with small circumferences and c) like to stir vigorously.
In extreme circumstances I'd even recommend only quartz watches with fixed spring bars secured on NATOs be used for this hazardous undertaking.
I’m glad some of you are taking my question seriously in the spirit of the forum. Next questions involve golf and cycling and / or running.
More seriously, you don't know adrenaline until you've done the washing up whilst wearing a watch from the 1920s
I find the knurled edges of dive watch bezels are really good for scraping the bottom of pans.
Don't tend to wear watches while washing up, regardless of WR. More because of an annoying tendency to smack my wrists on the taps. Better my wrists than expensive watch cases.
How risky is it to use your watch to tell the time? I mean, every time you swing your arm and wrist around to line up with your eyes, there's always the chance that you might knock it against something. Its probably better to keep it in a safe, just in case. Can always look at your phone or ask a policeman.
Rolex' maintenance sheet (AND the website) tells us that cleaning your Rolex with '...soapy water...' (yes!) is the perfect way to keep your watch shiny.
Personally, I take my watches off. I wear all my watches on nato straps and I don't like the wet strap on my wrist.
Menno
I always take mine off. Never wear in the bath or the shower. Just habit more than anything i think.

The mistake you are making is considering washing the dishes in the first place.
I just washed up wearing my 1966 Rolex datejust (and nothing else). It got mildly damp, is it ruined?
I think I should throw it away just to be on the safe side - what do you think??

I have with my steinhart.....
not sure I would do it with a daytona.
I'd stick to drying.
Heat and water will be fine and a shower or bath is a good place to clean your watch but the detergents from washing up liquid will not be good for the seals. I’d rinse it in clean water after.

I wash dishes in my Steinhart OVM.....but wouldn't do it with a Daytona.
Buy a dishwasher. Problem solved.

My partner's £100 Citizen went through a two-hour wash cycle (don't ask) and, a year later, still works fine and is used for swimming several times a week.
I stick my watches in the dishwasher too, gets them nice and shiny.
Slight fogging issues with the Lange, but I think that's more to do with the weather, first frost etc.
My late grandma always washed dishes with her watch on. I believe there is a connection. Stay safe, don't go near kitchen sink while wearing watch!
