I had no idea that a Rolex could withstand sustained temperatures of 700-1100F. While the movement will usually be inoperable following this ordeal, the Rolex casing remains clearly recognizable and the crown/stem will actually turn although the exact time can no longer be set as the watch is now in permanent 'hack mode' (pending a visit to the RSC for a movement overhaul).

The 904L steel and a sapphire crystal are obvious contributing factors and a contemporary (non-vintage) Rolex model seems best suited for those choosing this particular route.
