Diving with high quality and expensive watches - what is the chance ?
We all know that most dive watches is mostly for desk diving - and not for real diving.
Only a very small fraction of the people owning a gold rolex sub, a GP sub, a PP sub, etc.
It could be that people interested in watches and people interest in diving is limited, but it could also be that even if you have a expensive watch - you would rather dive with a cheaper watch and keep the "expensive" watch on land.
For me that is a no no - if you have it wear it and use it ....
I have no idea on the number of gold rolex subs that have been used for diving compared to the total numbers of gold rolex watches - but I would not be surprised if the number is less that 1 pr. 2000 watches.
So it really looks like that desk diving is where the majority of expensive dive watches will be used.
Sad but true....
What do you think the ration is for gold watches doing desk diving compared to real diving.
1 to 1000
1 to 2000
...
Found this picture on the net - not mine - so sorry for any copyright violations
But its a Rolex - not a gold rolex -
I could not find any pictures of a gold rolex doing real diving ( well only in this rolex ad)
OK let me have you answers - and ANY photos showing GOLD dive watch doing real diving (dip in pool don't count)

Whether it's...
I wouldn't wear an expensive watch in that environment
Well, I dived quite extensively with a gold watch
