Is it safe to wear your Rolex while your house is in fire?

You will have to forgive me for being brief, but time is of the essence!

Yes. No worries. Been in a couple. Once you’re equipment goes you’ll be expired. You breath, you’re Rolex works. Just make a run for exit please. Maybe bring the kids...judge yourself. A dead first responder never helped anyone...

That’s awesome!!! I remember the episode when Hammond crashed the Rimac, but must have missed the Christmas episode... Going to have to go watch that one now.

as long as the fire is below 1500 °C otherwise the watch will melt.

However, you will have melted way before this anyway and won't care.

Former firefighter. But I acquired my Sub after my firefighting days were over.

He is fine. He called his AD who he has a great relationship with. They came and helped. Thank goodness he sent them that bottle of wine that one time.
