    Will my Sea Dweller be ok for straining vegetables?

    If it hasn't been serviced for 6 years?

    I would suggest wrapping your watch and arm with cling film and gaffer tape before attempting such a high risk operation.

    I keep my Rolex in a zip lock freezer bag and only consider wearing it when my Barometer tells me it's safe to do so.

    Hope this helps

    Are you planning to smoke these 'vegetables' at some point?

    I think you would be better trying with a submarinader.

    If you can afford to ruin your watch crack on. I just don’t earn that kind of annual celery.

    Only if your Rolex has a `turnip dial`.

    Yes but only if closely supervised. Personal I don't like any of my watches getting involved with the cooking, they inviably make a mess and have real problems with cooking times.

    Its very small, so wont hold many vegetables, doesnt have handles so you may get scalded and should be fairly water tight so could take a long time for the water to strain out.

    Probably best just use a colander.

    It’s a pretty heavy watch - placing it on a mushy pea, or delicate broccoli florets will place a vegetable under considerable strain.......

    If it's a 4k, I suppose it depends how deep your sink is

    Though I suspect a manual rather than an auto would be appropriate, as this is a wind up watch talk thread

    Basel? I find it goes very well with fresh tomatoes. No need for a collander either as a quick rinse and it'll be fine.



    I'll get my coat.

    That's really tickled me - I like it😀 sink dweller or desk dweller is probably an accurate description for most Rolex "professional" models these days!!

    Does it come in 18 carrot mari gold?

    ' would certainly plug a gap in their range

    ( I'll get my coat, also)

    I fear you may have missed the subtle re-branding.... :-)

    What's this? An outbreak of humour on this forum??? Surely there's a rule against that....

    Just don't shake too fast, dynamic pressure is extremely dangerous!

    Ah, just realised your watch was the special edition, designed with the sea cucumber in mind
