Can a Rolex survive a 12 story drop...?

Why yes,yes it can. 12 stories, estimated 60 mph down Summit Plummet at Disney Blizzard Beach. So far has also survived a rocket flight in Space Mountain and other hazardous fun

LV-C Lume shot all me...though seemed to be blazing more than the camera picked up

I'm from NJ too, this isn't a vacation week. Just admit you are there by yourself on kiddie rides trying to push your Rolex to the brink. It's cool, not judging.

In my experience, It's inappropriate to wear a rolex when engaging in any rigorous Earth related activities e.g. breathing, sitting, walking, talking or eating etc (please let me know if I have missed any). As such, I've come to the conclusion that a rolex is designed not to be worn but to be observed.
