Excessive Heat
I have a Rolex Submariner Ceramic, and I spend long hours in the sun in summer causing my watch to become considerably hot, is this bad for it? Thanks

Not at all......Your Rolex will still be ticking long after you pass out from heat stroke!

in all seriousness, heat or cold does not seem to bother the watch as much as to humans..

As long as you put sunscreen on it so the crystal doesn't get a sunburn.

I Live in Vegas, in the summer months it can easily reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit and my Rolex is in tip top shape. I also workout with it, run with it, wear it while I sleep, wear it in the shower and pool. Oh yeah also I wear in the sauna. So far nothing. So do not worry sir! Wear you Rolex with Pride and Enjoy it!

Rolexes have been put through the freezing in ice then melting and boiling in water on the stovetop. Also going through the dishwasher (temperatures in excess of 200F). No problems.
