Relax. Rolex designed their watches to last through Global Warming.

Unfortunately, God didn't design us to withstand Global Warming...

I don't think God's surprised, not saying "oops!"

It's too hot to wear a watch today. I tried, but ended up putting it in my pocket when I was outside. This has to be the hottest day of the year, so far. I hope it's downhill from here.

According to Padi, it'll take a bit more than 113F:

It has been pretty cold here in London, so you are more than welcome to send your 14060M to me. I'd more than happy to look after it for ya
