Where is the coldest place your Rolex has been???

With predicted temperatures of -6 tonight and a wind chill of -16 I thought it would be a good idea to see just how cold your rolex has been. I can't think of mine getting much colder and all this on my own doorstep. Have posted a couple of pics for you to have a look at & would be great to see some of yours.

Wrap up everyone!!!!

My sub is a nice snug fit on my wrist. When I got back from a very cold walk with my dog this morning, I could rotate the watch 360 degrees around my frozen wrist! Don't know how cold it was, though. I'd guess -6C.

Indeed! We didn't get the Quattro though... Which would be good in our part of the world. Have you seen the new A7?

Eric, I was up there then as well - it was SOOO cold. They shutdown most of Sugarloaf b/c of the windchill that January.

Chris, Sugarloaf gets soo cold hah!

Well since I've only owned mine for 2 months the coldest it's been has been the wimpy -2 c outside, but Michigan gets way colder than that, so I'm sure it will see worse :p

Here in Montreal there are a couple of days where it gets nightmarishly cold. with the windchill, it can get to -30F or approach -40F. However, my perception is that our climates are not nearly as harsh as they were when i was a child (late 70s). case in point, its december 1, and its raining outside. my watches have soldiered through that with ease. I recommend a Canada Goose jacket for our harsh climates! harry in montreal

Don't make much difference if watch is on wrist as it picks up your body heat.But last night it was down to -12c according to my weather station.In remote parts of Scotland -23c was recorded last night.

When it is really cold, wristshots are not a priority...

Anyway, here's a few chilly shots:

Takker, Carl.

Bildene er tatt med et Ixus70 i området rundt Kirkenes.
