Rolex should make a fire-proof professional model for firemen. This would not have happened to such a Rolex.

Introducing:

The new "Rolex Firefighter"

the Rolex Firefighter is tested accurate to COSC standards up to searing temperatures of more than 1200 degrees.

Its hardened case and crystal to withstand the impact of falling concrete, debris and steel beams.

It features a fireman's extension link for wearing over a fireproof suit.

Unidirectional Bezel indicates to the fireman how many minutes of oxygen he has left .

Gas-tight Quad-lock crown keeps out smoke and soot.

Original smoke escape valve releases trapped smoke, just in case the fireman forgot to screw down the crown.

Dials in fire-truck red.

The Rolex Firefighter comes with a small metal axe trinket with "1200 degrees" inscribed on it.

An advanced model, the "Rolex Fire Chief" (kind of a "Fire-Dweller) resists even higher temperatures.

I'm willing accept a Daytona from Rolex in exchange for the intellectual rights for this idea.

This suggestion is made with all due respect to the valiant heroes who risk their lives to keep our cities, property and lives safe from fire.

It might be something for Trevor ("Karmatp") who is a firefighter as far as I recall.

Sounds like a cool idea but seems more like something another brand would do but who knows.

No gold though. It may melt.

hmmmm how about a professional watch for chefs!?

It can be a retooled Daytona and feature an egg boiling timer instead of a stopwatch.

Ok, i need sleep.

[astcell]

Yea, I hate it when my eggs are cooked 1/10th of a second too long.

Fantastic idea but dont know if there would be enough of a market for such an item.

Design the crystal to not fog up over the steaming pots. It could be the "Pot Master"

Too Funny! And this part is my favorite An advanced model, the "Rolex Fire Chief" (kind of a "Fire-Dweller) resists even higher temperatures.
I don't know any fire chief who needs to worry about higher temperatures!

But why not a firefighter model? I would think it would be collectable and designed as above could actually fit many occupations! Harley has a firefighter edition so why not Rolex

Poor watch !!

By the way, is the hand who wore it still intact ?

That looks like one of the fakes Jocke does experiments on. He's kinda sick that way.
