There is, however, a documented event on this forum where a YG (from memory) and steel TT datejust on jubilee worn in a hot tub came out with the YG significantly discoloured and looking like rose gold.
Rolex Service returned the watch to perfect condition (most likely by reversal of the chemical reaction that caused the discolouration in the first place)
There is no doubt that the hot tub in question had a serious chemical imbalance

This, I remember that thread well. General consensus is it should be okay to take gold into common water features BUT it’s not impossible for tarnish to appear if the chemical balance is wonky.
