Would you do this to test your rolex?

I may try this when I strike toto. Until that happens, no way in hell I'm gonna try such a stunt.

Enjoy!

That guy is a watch maker and he has parts ready just in case. But this is crazy

[feudallordcult]

whatever parts he may have but this is sheer insanity man! then again, rollies should be able to withstand such abuse.

i read up in other forum that there is a type of lubricants that is better for usage in colder countries. so diff countries e watch is applied with norm lub , but those going to extreme countries is applied with hi end lub( correct if i wrong )

well, I wear my GMT II for everything, outdoor activities for days and nights, such as hiking, running, swiming... No problems, the case is water and pressure tight.

After 10 years of wearing I decided to send it in to SRC for servicing... It is a kind of watch that others can not match. Hence, I trust only ROLEX for its build quality...

i told the techie at RSC to try and make sure that since this watch is going to Oz that the parts have a oil coating that has a higher vicosity, but i was told that rolex oil = same, regardless of where you are going.

feudal, thats an extreme test for any rolex.... but it survived wor

someone was telling me that when the rolex watches come out of the factory.. the oil is the same....

but when u get it serviced at the local rsc it may be different to suit the local climate....

am not sure of this though..... anybody care to comment?

[triton]

if it did not survive the test hor? then how ah?

then the owner will be in deep sh*t

i shudder to think

he must have had a deep trust in the watch and the company's claim that a rolex wl be able to take the extremes....

and maybe just too bored but with a huge stable of rolex spares....

[triton]

i only know that the explorer II has tested in extreme weather conditions and works fine. din know the sub can go through such experiences.

come to think about it, i think freezing the water will prove to be less a problem than leaving it in cold water (3 degrees).

just my 0.02

Many of you here think that this guy is crazy by freezing his/her SUB...

but I think it is not an extreme test to his/her Rolex watch... the reason is I worn my rolex to the top of mountains for skiing many many times before (approx. external temp at ard -20degC) ... I believe the temp is not much of a difference when compared with freezing a rolex in a glass of ice water.
If you have studied chemistry b4, water freezes at Zero degC.... so the picture is not a big deal to me.... maybe because we are staying in a hot weather country... so freezing a Rolex is something crazy for us loh....

If someone can post a picture of someone (really insane) burning a Rolex with a fire touch.... then I will shout out loud: "CRAZY!!!"

[triton]

u willing to try it on ur daytona?

i will not say CRAZY. i say WELL DONE

the owner of that LV is probably trying to give "frozen in time" a whole new personal meaning
