A companion in extreme conditions
Rolex says the Explorer II is the best companion for extreme conditions. After my hour long session in the sauna today I would have to agree.

How did you last and hour in the sauna? I would shrivel up and die. 😅 Mine says hi!

And that's about as extreme as most Rolexes will see these days. Rolex has made a watch that can endure a sauna!!! I'm glad Bond was a fictional character or he'd turn in his grave.

Congratulations on your hour long sauna experience. I would not have made it that long.

I wouldn't do it. From what I understand, hot water will dry out the gasket seals faster - I'd think a sauna would possibly fall into this realm?

Poor little watch having to endure s sauna , some people can be cruel. I think it's earned a little massage after that. :p
