Hello TRF!

What are the tolerances for temperature shock of rolex watches?

Alcan · 17 May 2010, 12:00 PM

If you're referring to thermal shock, or cracking due to differential expansion caused by sudden temperature change, I'm not sure that Rolex has ever released any information re that condition.

No idea but curious why do you ask?

I've seen them boiled in water, and frozen in a solid brick of ice and defrosted, but not right after each other, that might be too much. Both times, the watch was fine. WHAT exactly did you have in mind???

i just want to know at least the guidelines for temperature changes.

Here's an acid test scenario: going to the beach during summer the air can get up to 40 degrees celsius then maybe go in the salt water (say 25 degrees celsius in December)

You're not going to be able to be in the same environment for the extremes that your watch will withstand before breaking down............

I bet your watch will be O.K. but you are not!

A way with words, my good friend, and I'm sure that is definitely the case however, should you have left your watch outside overnight next to the barbie in Montreal during winter, I personally wouldn't rinse the ice off with boiling water! (specially if its a sapphire crystal)

there really is a 101 ways to mess up your watch even without knowing. for example my dad who forgot to screw in the crown. so it got little bead of water inside

Good day, capabayan.

I would imagine that human error is responsible for more damage to Rolexes than environmental stress.

Here's an adv. by Rolex to how far It can withstand Temperature!
