I use to wear my seamaster during the shower
after sport, which means 8 to 10 times a month.
The sealings have been replaced after three years.
The watch was under water very often: First at
biking in the rain (german summer :-( ), second
at white water canoeing (i get old = capsizing).
Absolutly no problem with moisture (testing was
done every half year). The sealing looked still
quiet well, but the watch had to be disassambled
because the automatic winding mechanism went bad
(to much rocks in the river in the wrong place).
So they were changed without additional expense.

I can't speak for the whole world, but here in
Germany normal soap contains no abrasive parts.
Only some special soap you use for cleaning
hands, e.g. after working on the car, contains
such things, and only masochists will use them
for body cleaning ;-)
