Well I was wearing mine when it's 116 in the summer and a few days ago it was -11 (Record). No the watch wasn't covered during the record cold.
These things are tanks!

I recall reading a thread on this forum awhile back about a successful test of a Sub in boiling water. Anyone else see it?

Seen it, can't find it.

If your body can handle it, you Rolex can.

I live in northern Minnesota (-5 degrees F right now) and the temperature not infrequently drops to -40 degrees F (-40 C.) My watch has never skipped a beat in the cold.
